Album: This Moment Is Mine

If I Gave Love

[Rodney Jerkins]
Uh, I like that
I'ma make you dance a little
Darkchild gon' make you dance a little
Chante make you dance a little
We gon' make you dance a little
C'mon

1 - [Chante]
If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
If I gave love

If I could look into your eyes and see the truth
Then I would know if I should try to put all of my trust in you
Not having to worry about if things would change
Once I gave myself to you
I hope that you would stay the same

Cuz I put all my trust in the wrong hands
And I don't ever want to feel pain again
So how do I know that you're the right man?
But I pray that you are so our love could begin

Repeat 1

I'm takin' a chance on you and me boy
You've given me a reason to let you inside my life
I've been in love before, I know this feeling
I gotta know this time this love is right
I gotta know that love is right

Not enough just to say the words "I love you"
(Can't say it baby, baby)
Gotta make sure that you're doin' everything you say
I'm not impressed by lines I've heard before
When it's said and done, those lines will fade away
(If I gave love)

Repeat 1

If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?

Not much to ask of you
I ask that you be true
Don't take my love for granted
See I wont be played so easily
Been there, done that before
I can't go there no more
Please oh please don't get me wrong
I just want a love I can count on

Repeat 1 to fade
