You asked me
For a part of me
That a girl can't give
Until she's sure this love
Ooooh I've got it
And I want to share it
Ohhh I've got so much to give
I want to share it with you
First I've got to ask you
This I've got to know
If I know
That you love me
If I know
That you care
If I know
If you told me that you needed me
Hey, I'd be right there
I might seem
Just a little confused
Oh I've been hurt before
But this time, I must be sure before I do
I do what I want to do
When I first met you
I knew what I wanted to do
But first I've got to ask you
This I've got to know
If I know
If I know
If I know that you care
If I know
If I know that my baby needs me
What you think I'd do?
I'd be right there
My friends keep telling me
How you used to treat your lovers and ladies from the past
It doesn't matter
No, what you did before
I don't care what people say
They're going to talk about you anyway
There's just one thing I've got to know
Before I let myself go
If I know
I need to know
If I know
If I know
That you care
If I know
That you needed me
I will, I will, I will, I will be there
Tender and softly
(Soft and sweet)
That's the way I want to love you
But that's not all I've got
(She's got)
Constant dedication
That's what I have to give
And I think I wanna give it to you
First I've got to ask you
This I've got to know
If I know
Know that you love me
You love me
If I know
That you really care
If I know
Cause if I know
That you needed me
I will, I will be there
Cause when you wake up in the morning
And go to bed at night
I want to be there to love you
With all my might
Ohhh yes I do
