If I Gave Love

Chanté Moore

Uh, I like that
I'ma make you dance a little
Darkchild gon' make you dance a little
Chante make you dance a little (ooh)
We gon' make you dance a little
C'mon

If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
If I gave love

If I could look into your eyes and see the truth
Then I would know if I should try to put all of my trust in you
Not having to worry about if things would change
Once I gave myself to you
I hope that you would stay the same

Cuz I put all my trust in the wrong hands (oh, oh, oh, yeah)
And I don't ever want to feel pain again 
(No pain, no, no, no, no)
So how do I know that you're the right man? 
(How do I know that)
But I pray that you are so our love could begin, yeah, yeah

If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
If I gave love

I'm takin' a chance on you and me, boy
You've given me a reason to let you inside my life
I've been in love before, I know this feeling
I gotta know this time this love is right
I gotta know that love is right, oh…

Not enough just to say the words "I love you"
(Can't say it, baby, baby)
Gotta make sure that you're doin' everything you say
I'm not impressed by lines I've heard before
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
When it's said and done
Those lines will fade away, yeah, yeah

(If I gave love) if I gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
(Where would that leave me, baby, baby)
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me (don't use no trust against me)
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same 
(Would the ending be the same, yeah)
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
If I gave love (if I gave love)

If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me (where would that leave me)
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me 
(Don't use no love against me, babe)
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?

Not much to ask of you
I ask that you be true
Don't take my love for granted
See I won't be played so easily
Been there, done that before
I can't go there no more
Please, oh, please don't get me wrong
I just want a love I can count on, oh…

If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me (where would that leave me)
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me (don't you use my trust)
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same (no, no)
Or would you prove to be the only one for me 
(Prove to be the only one for me, yeah, yeah, or I try)
If I gave love

If I gave you love (if I gave my you love)
Then where would that leave me (then what would it was)
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me (no, don't use this, baby)
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
(Prove to be the only one for me)

Would
'S again
If I gave love
If I gave love
If I gave love

If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
If I gave love

If I gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If I gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
If I gave love
