[Verse 1]
You’re the one that makes my day a dream, come true
Yet and still you wonder if I think of you
You ought to see how the other girls behave
When you’re not around
And only then you would know that it’s on your finger
I’m wound, aha
[Chorus]
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
That I care
[Verse 2]
There’s no need for you not to have faith, in me, no
‘Cause it’s by your side girl that I long to be
Yes, there are times with my friends
When I don’t know have much to say
What you don’t know is with you I could never act that way
Aha
[Chorus]
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
That I care
[Bridge]
I care for you baby, I-I swear that I care, I care
There’s no need for you not to have faith, in me, no
'Cause it’s by your side girl that I long to be
Yes, there are times with my friends
When I don’t have much to say
What you don’t know is with you I could never act that way
[Chorus]
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
That I care
[Outro]
I care for you, baby
I-I-I swear
I care for you, baby, I do!
Have faith in me
I care for you, baby
Oh
You’re the one that makes my day a dream, come true
Yet and still you wonder if I think of you
You ought to see how the other girls behave
When you’re not around
And only then you would know that it’s on your finger
I’m wound, aha
[Chorus]
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
That I care
[Verse 2]
There’s no need for you not to have faith, in me, no
‘Cause it’s by your side girl that I long to be
Yes, there are times with my friends
When I don’t know have much to say
What you don’t know is with you I could never act that way
Aha
[Chorus]
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
That I care
[Bridge]
I care for you baby, I-I swear that I care, I care
There’s no need for you not to have faith, in me, no
'Cause it’s by your side girl that I long to be
Yes, there are times with my friends
When I don’t have much to say
What you don’t know is with you I could never act that way
[Chorus]
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
If you were there, you’d know
That I care
[Outro]
I care for you, baby
I-I-I swear
I care for you, baby, I do!
Have faith in me
I care for you, baby
