“If I Don't Love You This Way” is a song from 1974 by Michael Jackson, taken from the album Dancing Machine.
If I don't love you this way
If I don't love you this way
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say, yeah
If I don't need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch, yeah
With you it seems
I can reach the stars
With reckless hopes and dreams
But you it seems
Still don't believe
How valuble you are
I'm really loving you
Not pretending to
If I don't love you this strong
Why do I beg to belong, yeah
How can you doubt that I care
When I'm with you everywhere, yeah
With you I find
I can close my eyes
To the world surrounding me
And you create
The sweetest things
That I could ever be
I'm really loving you
Not pretending to
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say, yeah
If I don't need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch, yeah
You just have to smile
To make my life worth while
Doesn't that explain
That I'm playin' no games
If I don't love you this way
Why do I say what I say, yeah
If I don't need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch, yeah
