Now tell me how you'd feel If I told you that I Have feelings for you And would it be so wrong to say What's on my mind I'm sorry I have to We were friends but with time What I feel inside for you has changed But I'd give up on love If I thought that it was untrue for you If I told you that I wanted to see you And if I told you that I'd beg to please you If I told you that I'll always keep you What would you say If I told you that I know that we're just friends But what if I decide to bring something in I hope it won't offend the trust We have cause I don't want this to end If you think that we'll lose what we have Then I'd just rather stay (rather stay) the same (I'd rather stay the same) 'Cause I don't want to choose Between two of the most precious things to me (Tell me) If I told you that I wanted to see you And if I told you that I'd beg to please you If I told you that I'll always keep you What would you say If I told you that If we take this chance And extend to each other romance I hope it would be The right thing for you and me If I told you that I wanted to see you And if I told you that I'd beg to please you If I told you that I'll always keep you What would you say If I told you that Would you be there for me Could you dare to hold me Will my feelings leave me Lonely if I told you If I told you that I wanted to see you And if I told you that I'd beg to please you If I told you that I'll always keep you What would you say If I told you that
