If You Think I Love You Now
Roy Drusky · I Love the Way You've Been Lovin' Me (Mercury) [1971]
It's nothin' new for a man to love his woman
It's an old familiar story that we both understand
And I've been lovin' you a long long time
So I'll make you a promise and I won't change my mind
And you'll never be alone you'll never be broken hearted
If you think I love you now I've just started.
Too many times people break each other's heart
By making vows that so quickly fall apart
So as long as I keep you right by my side
I'll be your man I'll be your lover and I'll keep you satisfied
And you'll never be alone you'll never be broken hearted
If you think I love you now I've just started.
If you think I love you now I've just started...
