[Intro: Whitney Houston]
Hey baby, ha ha ha
[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say if I told you that?
[Verse 1: George Michael, Whitney Houston]
Now tell me how you feel if I told you
That I have feelings for you, yeah
(Tell me, baby)
And would it be so wrong to say what's on my mind
I'm sorry I have to
[Pre-Chorus: Whitney Houston & George Michael]
We were friends but with time
What I feel inside for you (For you) has changed (Has changed)
But I'd give up on love
Iif I thought that it was untrue (Untrue) for you (For you, baby)
[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say if I told you that?
[Verse 2: George Michael, Whitney Houston]
I know that we were just friends
But what if I decide to bring something in, ooh yeah, baby, baby
I hope it won't offend the trust we have
'Causе I don't want this to end, no, no, no, baby
[Pre-Chorus: Whitney Houston & George Michael]
If you think that we will lose what wе have
Then I'd just rather stay (Rather stay) the same
(I'd rather stay the same, yeah)
'Cause I don't wanna choose
Between two of the most precious things to me
(To me, oh yeah)
[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say if I told you that?
[Bridge: Whitney Houston, George Michael, Both]
If we (If we) take this chance (Take this chance)
And extend to each other romance
I hope (Baby, I hope) it would be (It would be)
The right thing for you and me, oh yeah
[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say if I told you that?
(What would you say, baby?)
If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say if I told you that?
(What would you say? Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge: Whitney Houston & George Michael, Whitney, George]
Would you (Would you) be there for me (Be there)
Could you (Could you) dare to hold me (Hold me)
Will my (Will my) feelings leave me (Baby, baby)
Lonely (What would you say) if I told you (Oh yeah)
[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
If I told you that (If I told you) I wanted to see you
(Baby, if I told you)
And if I told you that (If I told you that) I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say if I told you that?
[Outro over Chorus: Whitney Houston & George Michael]
What would you say?
Would you be there for me
Could you dare to hold me
Will my feelings leave me lonely
If I told you
Would you be there for me
Could you dare to hold me
Will my feelings leave me lonely
If I told you
