Lyrics
IF I'D ONLY KNOWN
Written by: Howard Delnick
Chorus:
IF YOU'D ONLY TOLD ME YOU WERE LEAVIN'
I KNOW I'D HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT THE WAY YOU LEFT HAS GOT ME GRIEVIN'
AND IT'S DRIVIN' ME OUT OF MY MIND
Verse:
YOU LEFT A NOTE LYIN' ON THE TABLE
PACKED YOUR THINGS AND WENT AWAY
SAID YOU NEEDED TIME TO THINK IT OVER
NOW I'M SITTIN' HERE WOND'RIN' WHAT TO SAY
Verse:
IF I'D ONLY KNOWN THERE WAS A PROBLEM
I'D 'VE PROBABLY KNOWN JUST WHAT TO DO
BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST NOTION
EMPTY CLOSETS ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT OF YOU
Verse:
IF YOU SHOULD CALL, YOU KNOWN THAT I'LL BE WAITIN'
I CAN SEE YOU'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO
BUT REMEMBER AS YOU THINK IT OVER
THAT I'LL ALWAYS KEEP ON LOVIN' YOU
Chorus: (once)
IT'S JUST DRIVIN' ME OUT OF MY MIND
