Lyrics

If I Knew

[Verse 1]

If I knew

What was bothering you

I would run to your side

I don't know why

I would just die if you left me

[Verse 2]

Can't you see

What you're doing to me?

Are you playing a game?

It's always the same

Am I to blame, or is anyone?

[Chorus]

I don't wanna settle down

With any other girl, but you

So I'm just gonna wait around

Till you decide what you're gonna do

[Verse 3]

Can't you see

What you're doing to me?

Are you playing a game?

It's always the same

Am I to blame, or is anyone?

(Anyone)

(Anyone)

[Chorus]

I don't wanna settle down

With any other girl, but you

So I'm just gonna wait around

Till you decide what you're gonna do

[Outro]

Ah
