Lyrics:

(Difford/Tilbrook)



If I didn't love you I'd hate you

Watching you play in the bath

A soap suds stickle back navy

A scrubbing brush landing craft

Your skin gets softer and warmer

I pat you down with a towel

Tonight it's love by the fire

My mind goes out on the prowl

If I If I If I If I If I



If I didn't love you I'd hate you

I'm playing your stereogram

Singles remind me of kisses

Albums remind me of plans

Tonight it's love by the fire

The wind plays over the coals

Passionate looks are my fancy

But you turn the look into stone



If I didn't love you

Would you sit and glow by the fire

If I didn't love you

Would you make me feel so

Maybe love me

Oh if I didn't love you



If I didn't love you I'd hate you

Cocoa mugs sit side by side

It's time to poke at the fire

But it's not tonight

Looks I find

Taking a bite on a biscuit

The record jumps on a scratch

Tonight it's love by the fire

The door of your love's on the latch



If I, if I, if I

Didn't, didn't, didn't

Love you, love you, love you
