If Only

This is another one of my "Hanson Firsts" songs. It's so cute! It's all about a boy who is in love with a girl but is too afraid to tell her. "If Only" he had the guts to say how he felt inside. "If Only" she wanted to be with him too. He can't get her out of his head. Or his heart. An early 2000's boy band classic! Plus, Tay's harmonica playing is awesome!

 

 

Yeah! (Cuz I need you!)

Well every single time I see you I start to feel this way

It makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again.

There's a picture that's hangin'

in the back of my head

I see it over and over

I wanna hold you and love you
In my arms and then

I wanna need you 

Cuz I need to be with you till the end

Then I hear myself reply "You've got to hold it in" this time tonight

If Only

I had the guts to feel this way,

If only you'd look at me and want to stay,

If only I could take you in my arms and say,

I won't go cuz I need you
Cuz I need you! Yeah!

Sit here waiting, wondering, hoping that I'll make this right

Cuz all I think abouts your hands, your face and all these lonely nights

There's a feeling screaming in the back of my head

Saying it over and over

 I wanna hold you and love you
In my arms and then
I wanna need you 

Cuz I need to be with you till the end

Then I hear myself reply "She'll never let you in" this time tonight

If Only

I had the guts to feel this way,

And if only you'd look at me and want to stay,

If only I could take you in my arms and say,

I won't go cuz I need you
Please don't go

Cuz I need you now

I wanna hear you say

That we'll always be this way

Well we'll be hand in hand for everynight and everyday

I wanna scream and shout cuz the rules are never doubt

And all I care about is you and me and us and now

Oh yeah!

Oooooooooo

Oooooooooo

Yeah!

If Only

I had the guts to feel this way,

If only you'd look at me and want to stay,

If only I could take you in my arms and say,

I won't go cuz I need you
Please don't go

Cuz I need you now

Yeah. Cuz I need you
If only, yeah oh yeah, (hey, hey, ye-ah)

Cuz I need you now 
If only cuz I need you, I need you (oh yeah)
If only, (hey, hey, hey!) cuz I need you
If only cuz I need you (oh, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah)
If only, yeah, if only...I need you now....yeah
