If I Told You - Darius Rucker

What if I told you about my little nothing town?

The two room house where I came from

The man that I got my name from

I don’t even know where he is now

What if I told you sometimes I lose my faith?

I wonder why someone like you would even talk to me

What if I told you there’s no fixing me

'Cause everybody’s already tried

Would you stay?

Would you leave?

I could wait, it’ll all come out eventually

If I told you all the stupid things I’ve done

I blamed on being young

But I was old enough to know, I know

If I told you the mess that I can be

When there’s no one there to see

Would you look the other way, could you love me anyway?

What if I told you I don’t plan on staying here?

My dreams are a million miles away

And I know your family’s gonna want you to stay

You know what?

I don’t blame them

So I’ll say what I don’t want to

And I’ll just pray you want what I do

If I told you all the stupid things I’ve done

I blamed on being young

But I was old enough to know, I know

If I told you the mess that I can be

When there’s no one there to see

Could you look the other way, could you love me anyway?

Oh, could you love me anyway?

So before we go any further here

Let a week turn into another year

There’s some things you probably don’t wanna hear

But you have to

If I told you sometimes I get jealous

Sometimes I’m half crazy

Would you say the hell with me, the hell with me?

If I told you I barely know what love is

But girl, if that’s what this is

I don’t wanna let it slip away, oh, no, no, no

Could you love me anyway, please?

Could you love me anyway?

Could you love me anyway, ooh?

Could you love me anyway?
