IF I TOLD YOU THAT (Whitney Houston)

Now tell me how you'd feel
If I told you that I
Have feelings for you
And would it be so wrong to say
What's on my mind
I'm sorry I have to
We were friends but with time
What I feel inside for you has changed
But I'd give up on love
If I thought that it was untrue for you

If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that
I'd beg to please you
If I told you that
I'll always keep you
What would you say
If I told you that

I know that we're just friends
But what if I decide to bring something in
I hope it won't offend the trust
We have cause I don't want this to end
If you think that we'll lose what we have
Then I'd just rather stay (rather stay) the same
(I'd rather stay the same)
'Cause I don't want to choose
Between two of the most precious things to me
(Tell me)

If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that
I'd beg to please you
If I told you that
I'll always keep you
What would you say
If I told you that

If we take this chance
And extend to each other romance
I hope it would be
The right thing for you and me

If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that
I'd beg to please you
If I told you that
I'll always keep you
What would you say
If I told you that

Would you be there for me
Could you dare to hold me
Will my feelings leave me
Lonely if I told you
