Lyrics

If There Wasn't Something There

If there wasn't something there

You'd have just walked away

If there wasn't something there

You'd have just walked away

Made me work so hard to reach you

Where you coming from?

Got something that I could teach you, babe

I got something you don't know you want

You used all your attention

I got some feeling on my own

Should I even have to mention

I'm still here

(Baby, you ain't alone)

If there wasn't something there

You'd have just walked away

If there wasn't something there

You'd have just walked away

After some appointment

If you breathe, then yes come in

You'll have to make a few adjustments

Pay or feel past it

Honey, I know how well you play it

Like I read your diary

But you say it before you say it

I know I got your curiosity

If there wasn't something there

You'd have just walked away

If there wasn't something there

You'd have just walked away
