If Only Lyrics by Wednesday Week

What We Had [Expanded]

1986

[Verse 1]
I'm not the kind who's never satisfied
And I know where my boundaries lie
Most of the ground that I have gained
I do not push aside
'Cause I'm not one who says, "If only"

[Verse 2]
There are things I'd never do and I accept the facts
And there are things I'll never see and I can understand
There are places I'll never go and I can live with that
But I can't live without him

[Chorus]
If only I had him, my life would be better
If only he knew, one day we'd be together
If only I had him

[Verse 3]
I like the way he talks and the things he doesn't say
And the way he dresses, in that understated way
And every time I see him, I just wanna die
'Cause he's the one, I said, "If only"

[Chorus]
If only I had him, I'd feel so much better
If only he knew, one way or the other
If only I had him
If only I had him, I'd feel so much better
If only he knew, one day we'd be together
If only I had him

[Bridge]
I know here in my heart that he loves me
Oh, I know he does, he does

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If only I had him, I'd feel so much better
If only he knew, one way or the other
If only I had him
If only I had him, my life would be better
If only he knew, one day we'd be together
If only I had him
