If Only You Knew Lyrics

I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized

But when I get up the nerve
To tell you the words
Just never seem to come out right

If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could probably care less
About the changes I've been going through

If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

No, you don't even suspect
Could probably care less
About the changes I've been going through

If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

Oh, if only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
Oh, if only you knew
How much I do
I do need you
Oh, if

If
If I love you, yes
You don't know
I said you don't know how much I need you, suga

If only you knew
How much I do
I said you don't know
That I love you
And I will show I love you

What is the Meaning of If Only You Knew?

In the tender depths of unspoken love, Patti LaBelle's soulful ballad weaves a poignant tale of yearning and silent adoration. The lyrics reveal the inner turmoil of a heart that beats fervently with love yet remains shackled by hesitation and fear of rejection. Each verse is a delicate dance between hope and restraint, as she rehearses declarations of love that never quite escape her lips. This song beautifully captures the ache of loving someone from afar, haunted by dreams of what could be while grappling with the reality that these feelings might never be reciprocated. It's a heartfelt cry for visibility in love's vast ocean, where true feelings often remain submerged beneath layers of uncertainty and longing.
