Lyrics
If That's What You Want
Written by: Tom Jackson
Verse #1
Well the dust has finally settled from our last battle.
The love in your heart was the casualty.
Now the good times that we've had seem forgotten,
And I can't believe the words that you're telling me...
Chorus
But, if that's what you want
If that's what you need
If you're telling me that's the only way you'll be happy,
If the moments we shared
Weren't enough for you...
Well, if that's what you want,
You know that I love you enough,
To set you free.
Verse #2
I know I could have been a better lover,
More tenderness and trying just to please.
I know that I, at times, have been so selfish.
Yet, I can't believe the words that you're telling me...
Bridge
At times I've felt like I'm the world's worst sinner.
At times I've felt like my heart's gonna break in three.
But I know you're speaking the truth,
And there's nothing more I can do.
I have to accept the words that you're telling me...
