If You Only Knew Me

If you only knew me before you knew me
Life would be much easier it's true
If you only knew me before you heard all about me baby
Heaven would be in my arms instead of you

If you’d only loved me when I need same understanding
And a hand to hand when I was down
If you'd only loved me woman when you should have
I wouldn't be packing now I’d be hanging round

Let me tell ya about it
But your first mistake was
When you thought that you had it made
It took you by surpise when true love walked into your life
Baby you couldn't take it so now I'm leaving you

But your first mistake was
When you thought that you had it made
It took you by surpise when true love walked into your life
Baby you couldn't take it oh lord so now I'm leaving you

If you only knew me before you heard all about me
Oh lord on my spend like you used to do
If you only knew me well that I think knew baby
I wouldn't be packing now I'm loving you

If you only know me oh
If you only know baby
If you only know me

Oh...

Before you heard all about me baby
