[Intro: Jackson 5]
If I don't love you this way
If I don't love you this way
[Verse 1: Michael]
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much, ooh
Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
With you it seems
I can reach the stars
With reckless hopes and dreams
But you it seems
Still don't believe
How valuble you are
I'm really loving you
Not pretending to
[Chorus]
If I don't love you this strong
Why do I beg to belong? Yeah
How can you doubt that I care, ooh
When I'm with you everywhere? Yeah
[Verse 2: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
With you I find (I find)
I can close my eyes (my eyes)
To the world surrounding me
And you create
The sweetest place (sweet place)
That I could ever be
I'm really loving you (loving you, loving you)
Not pretending to
[Chorus]
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much. ooh
Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah
[Bridge]
You just have to smile
To make my life worthwhile
Doesn't that explain
That I'm playin' no game
[Chorus]
If I don't love you this way, ooh
Why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much, ooh
Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah
If I don't love you this way
If I don't love you this way
[Verse 1: Michael]
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much, ooh
Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
With you it seems
I can reach the stars
With reckless hopes and dreams
But you it seems
Still don't believe
How valuble you are
I'm really loving you
Not pretending to
[Chorus]
If I don't love you this strong
Why do I beg to belong? Yeah
How can you doubt that I care, ooh
When I'm with you everywhere? Yeah
[Verse 2: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
With you I find (I find)
I can close my eyes (my eyes)
To the world surrounding me
And you create
The sweetest place (sweet place)
That I could ever be
I'm really loving you (loving you, loving you)

Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah

[Chorus]
If I don't love you this way, ooh
Why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much, ooh
Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah
