If Ever
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
Just don't wanna let that feeling show
Because they're not sure that you could ever feel the same
But now he would like to take a chance
In hopes that you both will find romance
In case you are willing
There's something I'd like you to know
Girl, if ever you call me
I'm there for you girl, right or wrong
I'm telling you now girl
If ever you need me
I promise you I'll give you my all
Someone who will love and sacrifice
Who knows what it means to treat you right
Someone who won't change his mind
But always feels the same
He wants you to open up your heart
In hopes that true love might one day start
Girl if you are willing
There's something I'd like you to know
Hook
Darling here's my heart
Please take care my darling dear
'cause i, I do, love you, it's true
And I hope that you are willing girl to love me in return
And if you are
I want you to know

The track exemplifies the polished production techniques that defined the era, blending romantic balladry with an upbeat, danceable rhythm. As a solo effort by the prolific songwriter and producer, the recording showcases his signature ability to craft intricate melodies that prioritize emotional resonance over complex lyrical narratives. Released during a period where Babyface was establishing himself as a dominant force in contemporary music, the song reflects the sophisticated sound that would become his hallmark across decades of work.
