Half As Much

Maribeth

words Cara Jones / music James Shimoji

It's just like a girl to put the accesnt on love
Speak a foreign tongue that's sent from above,like it's all we dream of
When the time is right and things start working out wrong
Then it's back to basics,learning what we should have known all along

That's if I loved him like he was loving me
There would be a little room to spare to put myself where I should be

if I only loved you half as much
Took the other half and turned it inside out to love myself
Then I'd be alright
if you only knew me half as well as I know you should
Then I am sure our love would carry into tomorrow

Now I think the time has come to turn a new leaf
Shed my skin and come alive-it's the way I was supposed to be
And this time the difference is so plain to see
Not gonna live for someone else anymore,I'll do it all for me

And next time I love you baby the rules will change
Cause this thoroughfares no one-way street
it's gotta go both ways with me

if I only loved you half as much
Take the other half and turn it inside out to love myself
Then I'll be alright
if you only show me half as much as I know you feel
Then I am sure our love will carry into tomorrow

if I only loved you half as much
Take the other half and turn it inside out to love myself
Then we'll be alright
if you only show me half as much as I know you feel
Then I am sure our love would carry into tomorrow
