If This World Were Mine (with Luther Vandross) [Single Version] - Cheryl Lynn

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

Don't know what this could be Could it be love taking a hold on me? There's no pain, there's no doubt For the first time there's nothing to cry about She wears the stars in her eyes And she looks and she sees into this heart I could survive after any lover Love could go wrong one way or another But, this time I'm right; this time I know This time I know that it's love 'til the end Yesterday's over, I'm starting again And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love Ain't no love like she gives And she told me that I'm the reason she lives Comes to me all the time I'm not just making her up in my mind I see the stars in her eyes And I look and I know that she sees only mine All of my life I've been waiting for this This is the love that I don't wanna miss 'Cause, this time I'm right; this time I know I'm a believer in love that's for real I don't know much, but I know what I feel And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love This is it, can't waste time 'Cause I know, the one is mine Celebrate, can't slow down It's of r sure, love's turning me around I could survive after any lover Love could go wrong one way or another But, this time I'm right; this time I know This time I know that it's love 'til the end Yesterday's over, I'm starting again And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love All of my life I've been waiting for this This is the love that I don't wanna miss 'Cause, this time I'm right; this time I know I'm a believer in love that's for real I don't know much, but I know what I feel And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love

Turn the lights out, in the lighthouse I saw you coming Felt the shipwreck, saw the wreckage I heard you yelling Just then that's when I saw your reflection in the sand Wondering where you had washed up Oh, I ran to the water (mmm) I could put my hands down in it But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to water It fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on Stay the night out, by the beach house It's oh so quiet Lit a candle, by the window So you might find it Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home Still I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning (oooh) I could put my hands down in it, yeah But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on I knew the waves were icy When I felt them all retreating Went to take a dive in the deep end Oh, what was I thinking? But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like (love me like) a flood of love Bring it on (Ohh ohh) The rising and the falling of my tears Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean The ocean The ocean My tears that fill the ocean
