If I Told You That (Duet with George Michael) Songtext
von Whitney Houston

Dark child
Hey, baby

If I told you that, I wanted to see you
And if I told you that, I beg to please you
If I told you that, I′ll always keep you
What would you say? If I told you that

Now tell me how you feel
If I told you that I have feelings for you, baby?
And would it be so wrong to say what's on my mind?
I′m sorry I have to

We were friends but with time (baby, baby)
What I feel deep inside for you has changed (for you has changed)
But I'd give up on love, if I thought (uh, uh)
That it was untrue for you (untrue for you baby)

If I told you that I wanted to see you (uh-uh, I wanted to see you)
And if I told you that I beg to please you (and if I told you to please you)
If I told you that I'll always keep you (if I told you I′ll always keep you)
What would you say? If I told you that, uh


I know that we′re just friends
But what if I decide to bring something in? Oh yeah
I hope it won't offend the trust we have
′Cause I don't want this to end, no, no, no, baby

If you think we will lose what we have
Then I′d just rather stay the same (rather stay the same, baby)
'Cause I don′t want to choose
Between two of the most precious things to me (ooh yeah, yeah, precious things to me, ooh, oh)

If I told you that I wanted to see you (I told you that I wanted to see you)
And if I told you that I beg to please you (and if I told you to please you)
If I told you that I'll always keep you (and if I told you I'll always keep you)
What would you say? If I told you that (what would you say?)

If we take this chance
And extend to each other romance
And I hope it would be
The right thing for you and me, oh yeah, baby

If I told you that I wanted to see you (baby)
And if I told you that I beg to please you (and if I told you I beg to please you)
If I told you that I′ll always keep you (if I told, if I told, if I said)
What would you say? If I told you that (what would you say, what would you say, baby?)


If I told you that I wanted to see you (if I told you that I wanted)
And if I told you that I beg to please you (to see you, if I told you I beg to please you)
If I told you that I′ll always keep you (if I told you I'll always keep you)
What would you say? If I told you that (what would you say?)

Would you be there for me? (Would you be there?)
Could you dare to hold me? (Say, could you dare to hold me?)
Will my feelings leave me (will my feelings)
Lonely, if I told you? (Baby, what would you say, oh yeah)

If I told you that I wanted to see you (If I told you, I said if I told you)
And if I told you that I beg to please you (if I told you that I beg to please you)
If I told you that I′ll always keep you (my love, I'll always)
What would you say? If I told you that (what would you say?)

Would you be there for me? (If I told you that I wanted to see you)
Could you dare to hold me? (You know I love you)
Will my feelings leave me (if I told you that I′ll always keep you)
Lonely, if I told you? (What would you say if I told you?)
Would you be there for me? (If I told you that?)
