If I Ever Do Wrong

(album: Explosion! - 1976)

I can sum up my experience, on one finger of one hand
'Cause all the love I've ever know, I've known with just one man
(Just one man)
And though I'm being true today, tomorrow I just might wanna play
So, I'm taking out this time to say

If I ever do wrong
You can bet that I will have thought about it
All the years that lived without
Bet that I will have thought about it, if I ever do wrong, oh, baby
If I ever do wrong, I hope you'll be able to understand baby, yeah

They say that your first love, is a love that just won't die
And your heart can't fight the feeling, no matter how hard it may try
And though I'm still being loyal to you
I think my loyal days are almost through
So, I'm taking out this time to say to you, let me say to you

If I ever do wrong
You can bet that I will have thought about it
All the years that lived without it
Bet that I will have thought about it, if I ever do wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I should ever do wrong, I hope you'll still love me, baby
Say you will

Knowing you for so long, has made you seem like a father to me
And I'm sure I still care for you, even if not passionately
(Still love you, baby)
I'd like to make this short and sweet
And maybe it won't hurt as bad as it normally would
Oh, I'll stay with you, as long as you need me too
But, I can't promise I will be good

If I ever do wrong
You can bet that I will have thought about it
All the years that done without it
Bet that I will have thought about it
If I ever do wrong, I hope you'll understand me, baby
(If I ever do wrong)
If I should ever do wrong, baby

Ooh...
(If I ever do wrong)
You see, I ain't going nowhere 'cause I still care, yes I do
So much, baby
More than you'll ever know
