Text: Chicago. Greatest Hits: 1982-1989 (Chicago 20). If She Would Have Been Faithful.

I was thinkin' about her, visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
I was studyin' 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 somethin' 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've 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 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've 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've missed out on you

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've missed out on you

If she would have been faithful
If she would have been faithful
If she would have been faithful
