Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say that I don't listen
That I don't give you no respect
You took your love to some other place
Now, what did you expect?
[Verse 2]
We made vows inside the church
To forgive each other's sins
But there are things I have to endure
Like the smell of another man's skin
[Chorus]
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
[Verse 3]
You say you wanted children
And you would grow into a mother
But in my mind's eye, I would see you
In the arms of another
[Verse 4]
I am given to jealousy
I've been given to violence
But I could never raise a hand in my defence
So I suffer here in silence
[Chorus]
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
[Verse 5]
I pray the waters of forgiveness
Will rain down on you and me
And just like newborn babies
In the cradle of a tree
[Verse 6]
And we will walk in righteousness
We will walk in rain and thunder
And what God has joined together here
Let no man put asunder
[Chorus]
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
[Chorus]
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
