If You Want Me To - Joe Diffie Darlin' I'll pack up my clothes Take my heart on down the road I'll even make believe I don't love you. Lose my mind, go insane, turn my face to the pourin' rain There's nothin' I wouldn't do if you want me to. But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. If there's no way to make it work I'll find a way to hide the hurt I'll do my best to do what's best for you. I'll just take your memory and disappear quietly Quit acting like a fool if you want me to. But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. Ohh if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to.
