If Only You Knew Lyrics by SWV

I Missed Us

2012

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I must have rehearsed my lines a thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get a good nerve to tell you the words
They just never seem to come out right (Ooh)
[Chorus]
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you, yeah, yeah
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you
[Verse 2]
I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm livin' in a fantasy
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could probably care less
About the changes I've been going through
[Chorus]
If only you knew (Only you knew)
How much I do
Do love you (Oh)
If only you knew (Ooh)
How much I do (Ooh)
Do need you (Need you)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could probably care less
About the changes I've been going through, oh
[Chorus]
If only you knew (Only you knew)
How much I do
Do love you (Oh, oh)
If only you knew (Only you knew, baby)
How much I do (Yeah, yeah)
Do need you (Oh, only)
If only you knew (Only you knew, baby)
How much I do
Do love you (Oh, oh, oh)
If only you knew
How much I do
I do need you (Oh)
[Break]
If—
If—
If our love gets right
You don't know
I said you don't know how much I need you (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
If only you knew
How much I do (I said you don't know, you don't know)
Do love you (You don't know, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If only you knew (Yeah)
How much I do
Do need you
