Mary J. Blige Lyrics
"If I Don't Love You This Way"

If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much
Oh, why do I ache for your touch? Yeah

With you it seems I can reach the stars
With reckless hopes and dreams
With you it seems you still don't believe
How valuable you are

I'm really loving you
(Loving you, loving you)
Not pretending too

If I don't need you this strong
(Ooh)
Why do I beg to be loved? Yeah
How can you doubt that I care?
Oh, when I'm with you everywhere? Yeah

With you I find
(I find)
I can close my eyes
To the world surrounding me
(Ooh)

And you create
(Create)
The sweetest place
That I could ever be

I'm really loving you
(Loving you, loving you)
Not pretending too

If I don't love you this way
Ooh, why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much
Ooh, why do I ache for your touch?

You just have this smile
That makes my life worth wild
And that explains
Why I play no games

If I don't love you this way
Ooh, why do I say what I say? Yeah
If I don't need you this much
Ooh, why do I ache for your touch? Yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
