Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

If she’s not with the one she loves
She’ll love the one she’s with

I’ll tell you why I’m always near
And not far from her kiss
For if she’s not with the one she loves
She’ll love the one she’s with

I love her more than I should
She needs more to exist
‘Cause if she’s not with the one she loves
She’ll love the one she’s with

I can’t help the way I feel
And she can’t help how she gives
‘Cause if she’s not with the one she loves
She’ll love the one she’s with

‘Cause if she’s not with the one she loves
She’ll love the one she’s with
