If She Would Have Been Faithful...

Chicago · The Best Of Chicago - 40th Anniversary Edition [2007]

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've 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 sleepin, 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 wanna thank her (thank her again)



If she would've 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 all logical explanation



If she would've 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've been faithful

If she could have been true

(If she would have been true, whoa)

Then I would've been cheated

I would never know real love

I would have missed out on you

I would've missed out on you



If she would've been faithful

(repeat till the end of the song)
