If I Didn't Know Better - Luther Vandross

I think sometimes I can read your mind

When you make things up I can tell you lie

I see the things that your man can't see

And I wonder what kind of man is he

The one who you say is your lover

Who you insist takes care of you under the covers

And who is there for you and loves you like no other

Then you kiss and tell me that you love me like a brother

If I didn't know better

I'd think that you were mine, you're with me all the time

If I didn't know better

I'd swear we're more than friends, you're touching me again

If I didn't know better

I'd think we were in love

Girl, do you wanna tell me something

Oh, oh, oh

I could be wrong about the things you say

But I don't rub up on my friends that way

You tell me that you've always been a flirt

But if it goes wrong, I could get hurt

But no, you insist it's harmless playin'

It's just a part of who you are, that it's just your nature

And that it's fine

You know I'm a friend, it's really nothing

You say that I'm just like a…

That I'm just like a brother

If I didn't know better

I'd think that you were mine, you're with me all the time

If I didn't know better

I'd swear we're more than friends, you're touching me again

If I didn't know better

I'd think we were in love

Girl, do you wanna tell me something

Oh, oh, oh

My idea of a friend is when you

Do a lotta things together and have a lotta fun

But my definition of love is different

You touch and hold each other

And you only want to be alone clinging to each other

Like you and he should be, but like you and I are

Well, I know it sounds crazy but…

If I didn't know better

I'd think that you were mine, you're with me all the time

If I didn't know better

I'd swear we're more than friends, you're touching me again

If I didn't know better

I'd think we were in love

Girl, do you wanna tell me something

Oh, oh, oh
