thought i understood
all the things that you told me
you were going through

tried to be there and wanted to pull you through
and show you how much you're loved


made a song and dance
whenever i would ask you
just what was wrong

you would say something like nothing hon
all along telling me lies


if you really cared
cared about me
then you would care about

care about us
if you cared about me
then you would have cared about love


felt betrayed
i was giving good loving

yet still you strayed
wasn't i good enough
you were oh so sweet

i guess it was your sweetness
that blinded me


if you really cared

if you cared

you would be there for me
you wouldn't have left me feeling lonely
if you really cared

then you would have cared about us
cared about love


said you cared
now you're asking for forgiveness
it's much too late

i don't want you near
if you cared about me
then you would have cared about love


if you really cared
cared about me

then you wouldn't have
hurt me as you did
if you cared about me

then you would have cared about love
