Chicago - If She Would Have Been Faithful...

I was thinking about her
Visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
(I was) Studying the faces
With an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me

At the time you couldn't tell me
That one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought was love
Was misinterpreted
She had another lover - she emphatically denied
But they were doin' me a favor
A blessing in disguise

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you

I watch you sleeping - your body touchin' me
There's no doubt about it
This is where I want to be
You know it's so ironic - I had to lose to win
I want to thank her (thank her again)

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you

It's a paradox - full of contradiction
How I got from there to here
It defies a
Logical explanation

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you
(Missed out on you)

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
(If she were true)
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you
(Missed out on you)

If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
