"If I Didn't Love You" lyrics

"If I Didn't Love You"

If I didn't love you, I'd hate you
Watching you play in the bath
A soap suds stickleback navy
A scrubbing brush landing craft
Your skin gets softer and warmer
I pat you down with a towel
Tonight it's love by the fire
My mind goes out on the prowl

If I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I

If I didn't love you, I'd hate you
I'm playing your stereogram
Singles remind me of kisses
Albums remind me of plans
Tonight it's love by the fire
The wind plays over the coals
Passionate looks are my fancy
But you turn the look into stone

If I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I

If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe love me
Oh, if I didn't love you

Mmm, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I

If I didn't love you, I'd hate you
Cocoa mugs sit side-by-side
It's time to poke at the fire
But it's not tonight, looks I find
Taking a bite on a biscuit
The record jumps on a scratch
Tonight it's love by the fire
The door of your love's on the latch

If I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I

If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe love me
Oh, if I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe love me
Oh, if I didn't love you

Mmm, if I, if I, if I, if I
Didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't
Love you, love you, love you, love you
