If you had my love

And I gave you all my trust

Would you comfort me?

And if somehow you knew

That your love would be untrue

Would you lie to me?

And call me baby

Now if I give you me

This is how it's got to be

First of all, I won't take you cheating on me

Tell me who can I trust

If I can't trust in you

And I refuse to let you play me for a fool

You said that we

Could possibly

Spend eternity

See that's what you told me

That's what you said

But if you want me

You have to be

Fulfilling all my dreams

If you really want me, babe

If you had my love

And I gave you all my trust

Would you comfort me?

And if somehow you knew

That your love would be untrue

Would you lie to me?

And call me baby

You said, you want my love

And you've got to have it all

But first, there are some things you need to know

If you wanna live

With all I have to give

I need to feel true love or it's got to end, yeah

I don't want you

Trying to get with me

And I end up unhappy

I don't need the hurt

And I don't need the pain

So before I do

Give myself to you

I have to know the truth

If I spend my life with you

If you had my love

And I gave you all my trust

Would you comfort me?

(What would you do, babe? Tell me right now)

And if somehow you knew

That your love would be untrue

Would you lie to me? (Don't lie)

And call me baby (Don't you lie to me)

If you had my love

And I gave you all my trust

Would you comfort me?

(Comfort me, ooh, tell me, baby)

And if somehow you knew

That your love would be untrue

Would you lie to me? (Would you lie to me?)

And call me baby (Don't lie to me baby)

Mmm, yeah

Ooh, na-na-na

Ooh

(If you had my)

If you had my love

And I gave you all my trust

Would you comfort me? (Tell me, baby, oh)

And if somehow you knew

That your love would be untrue

Would you lie to me? (Don't lie to me)

And call me baby (Call me baby)

If you had my love (Had my love)

And I gave you all my trust (Gave my trust)

Would you comfort me?

(What would you do if I gave it to you?)

And if somehow you knew

That your love would be untrue

Would you lie to me? (Don't you lie to me)

And call me baby (Call me baby)

If you had my love

And I gave you all my trust

Would you comfort me?

And if somehow you knew

That your love would be untrue

Would you lie to me?

And call me baby
