  • I was thinking about her, visiting the past
    Reconstructing details with old photographs
    I was studying the faces with an objective point of view
    Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me
    At the time you couldn't tell me that one day I'd be glad
    That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted
    She had another lover, she emphatically denied
    But they were doing me a favor, a blessing in disguise
    If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
    Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
    I would've missed out on you
    I watch you sleeping, your body touching me
    There's no doubt about it, this is where I want to be
    You know it's so ironic, I had to lose to win
    I want to thank her, thank her again
    If she would've been faithful
    If she could have been true
    Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
    I would've missed out on you
    It's a paradox full of contradiction, how I got from there to here
    It defies a logical explanation
    If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
    Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
    I would've missed out on you
    If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
    Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
    I would've missed out on you Writer/s: Randy Goodrum, Stephen Alan Kipner
