If I Don't Love You This Way

[Intro: Jackson 5]

If I don't love you this way

If I don't love you this way

[Chorus: Michael]

If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say? Yeah

If I don't need you this much, ooh

Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah

[Verse 1]

With you it seems

I can reach the stars

With reckless hopes and dreams

But you it seems

Still don't believe

How valuble you are

I'm really loving you

Not pretending to

[Chorus]

If I don't love you this strong

Why do I beg to belong? Yeah

How can you doubt that I care, ooh

When I'm with you everywhere? Yeah

[Verse 2: Michael + (Jackson 5)]

With you I find (I find)

I can close my eyes (My eyes)

To the world surrounding me

And you create

The sweetest place (sweet place)

That I could ever be

I'm really loving you (loving you, loving you)

Not pretending to

[Chorus]

If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say? Yeah

If I don't need you this much. ooh

Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah

[Bridge]

You just have to smile

To make my life worthwhile

Doesn't that explain

That I'm playin' no game

[Chorus]

If I don't love you this way, ooh

Why do I say what I say? Yeah

If I don't need you this much, ooh

Why do I ache for your touch? Yeah
