I was with you baby;
Even though I spent the night
With someone else, another guy,
I just / decided / to try.
I was with you baby;
You never left my mind.
I felt your hands, your fingertips,
Softly, softly, I felt your kiss.

If I didn't love you
Would I hold you tight?
Oh baby, would I be with you / tonight?
If I didn't care for you
Would I try to put it right?
Oh baby, would I be back / tonight?

Don't tell me you're jealous,
I thought you had those feelings buried.
You can't divorce me anyway—
We were never married.
Why's it got to be this way?
Do I have to prove my love
a thousand ways? A thousand nights with you
Would not convince you / my love.

If I didn't love you
Would I hold you tight?
Oh baby, would I be with you / tonight?
If I didn't care for you
Would I try to put it right?
Oh baby, would I be back / tonight?

Take it easy baby;
I depend on you.
Sometimes I like somebody
Who constantly tells me what to do.
I told you that I'm sorry.
It didn't leave me satisfied anyway
So I've learned, so give me a chance:
Don't let this break up / our romance.

If I didn't love you
Would I hold you tight?
Oh baby, would I be with you / tonight?
If I didn't care for you
Would I try to put it right?
Oh baby, would I be back / tonight?
