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, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I 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, mmm If I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I 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, if I, if I, if I, if I 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 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, mmm If I, if I, if I, if I Didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't Love you, love you, love you, love you
