If I know
If I know
You asked me for a part of me
That a girl can't give until she's sure that love
I got it and I want to share it
I've got so much to give I want to share it with you
But first I've got to ask you
This I've got to know
If I know that you'll love me
If I know that you care
If I know
If you told me that you needed me
I'd be right there
I might seem just a little confused
Oh, I've been hurt before
But this time I must be sure
Before I know I do what I want to do
When I first met you I knew what I wanted to do
But first I've got to ask you
This I've got to know
If I know
If I know that you care
If I know that my baby needs me
Would you think I do
I'd be right there
My friends keep telling me
How you used to treat your lovers
And ladies from the past
It doesn't matter, no, what you did before
I don't care what people say
They're gonna talk about me and you anyway
There's just one thing that I've got to know
Before I let myself go
If I know
I need to know
If I know that you care
If I know that you mean to me
I will be there
Tender and softly
Soft and sweet
That's the way I want to love you
But that's not all I've got (she's got)
Constant dedication that's what I have to give
And I think I want to give it to you
First I've got to ask you
This I've got to know
If I know that you'll love me
If I know that you really care
If I know
Cause if I know that you need me
I'd be right there
Cause when you wake up in the morning
And you go to bed at night
I want to be there to love you
With all my might
Oh yes, I do
