If You Don't Love Me Lyrics

Some people can talk about anything

In a way that keeps you up in the night

This one wasn't a talker

But she liked his words just fine

He told her that he didn't know if it would work

But he wasn't one that she could live without

She knew that this could be the last time

So as he got up to leave town

She said

If you don't love me I'll move to Carolina

And find a bay bridge I could live beside

But if you love me, yeah really love me

I could find a way to give you my life

If you don't love me, I'll cross the ocean

Maybe Japan would get you off my mind

But if you love me, yeah really love me

I'll follow you to the end of the line

He had a life in a city with a couple of friends and a job

Dreaming of a life of a daughter and a wonderful wife he could love

And though he thought of her when he was on his own

Something in his heart said it wasn't right

And then he knew it was last time

And as they said goodbye

She said

If you don't love me I'll move to West Virginia

And live with all the people that I know from home

But if you love me, yeah really love me

You could be the one I don't let go

If you don't love me I'll see a shrink

And tell him all the things I can't tell you

But if you love me, yeah really love

I'll follow you my whole life through
