Lyrics

If I Wanted You to Love Me
By Ted Horrell

If I wanted you to love me
There’d be very little you could do
You’d stumble trying to talk to me
You wouldn’t know what had come over you
And every day you’d see another way
That I could make your life complete
And you would lie awake and try to formulate
Another place where we could meet

Well if I wanted you to love me
You’d wonder why you didn’t see before
They way that I can take your broken dreams
And put them back the way they were before
And you’d pine away most every day
That I could not be there with you
And you’d sit by the phone and check for a dial tone
To make sure my calls could get through

But you should hope that you never see the day I try to make you mine
Cause you’d know what I go through all the time

I know for certain you don’t love me
But you better hang on to your heart
Cause if I make my mind to take you
I’ll be a modern day Bonaparte
And you’ll have no choice when you hear my voice
Inviting you to come away
And you’ll forget about the years you lived in doubt
Of every little thing I’d say
