Lyrics

"What If I Said"
We've been friends for a long, long time
You tell me your secrets and I tell you mine
She's left you all alone and you feel like no one cares
But I have never failed you; I've always been there
You tell your story it sounds a bit like mine
It's the same old situation it happens every time
Can't we see oh maybe you and me?
Is what's meant to be?
Or do we disagree
What if I told you (what if I said)
that I loved you
How would you feel?
What would you think?
What would we do?
Do we dare cross that line
Between your heart and mine
Or would I lose a friend
Or find a love that would never end
What if I said
She doesn't love you
Oh it's plain to see
I can read between the lines of what you're telling me
and he doesn't hold you the way a woman should be held
How long can I go on keeping these feelings to myself?
What if I told you (what if I said)
that I loved you
How would you feel?
What would you think?
What would we do
Do we dare cross that line
Between your heart and mine
Or would I lose a friend
Or find a love that would never end
What if I said
Oh we've both had our share of loneliness
So who's to say we can't have a little happiness
and if I found that in you
It would make my dreams come true
or would you walk away
Hear what I have to say
What if I told you (what if I said)
That I loved you
How would you feel
What would you think
What would we do......
Oh do we dare cross that line
Between your heart and mine
I've always wondered
From that day that we met
What if I said
What if I said
Ohhhhhhhhh
What if I said
