Patti LaBelle
If You Asked Me To - Single Version
[Verse 1]
Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone, I could trust someone

[Refrain]
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

[Chorus]
But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind and let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart and stay here in your arms forever

[Post-Chorus]
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

[Verse 2]
Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home, that I'm finally home
[Refrain]
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free

[Chorus]
If you asked me to
I just might change my mind and let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart and stay here in your arms forever

[Post-Chorus]
If you—

[Bridge]
Ask me to, and I will give my world
To you, baby, I need you now (I need you now)
Ask me to and I'll do anything (Anything)
For you, baby, for you, baby

[Outro]
If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to (All you gotta do is ask me to)
I'd give you my heart
If you asked me to (I'd give you my heart)
I'll give you everything that I got, baby
If you asked me to (Oh, I'd do anything you want me to, just ask me, yeah)
All you gotta do is ask me to
If you asked me to (I'd give my life)
All you gotta do is ask me to
If you asked me to (I'd let you in my life)
I'd let you in my life forever
