tonic grubunun 96 çıkışlı lemon parade albümünde bulunan şarkı. Maalesef grubun one hit wonder olarak kalmasına sebep de olmuş diyebiliriz. Tekrardan onun başarısına ulaşamamışlar, kendilerini aşamamışlar. Ama şarkı da şarkı yani, müzikal anlamda fazlaca doyurucu. Sözlerindeyse şarkının yazarı emerson hart'ın ilişkisini tasvip etmeyen anne babasına "beni nasıl da sevdiğini bir görseniz bana hak verirdiniz" diye yakarışını görüyoruz. Bir de duran müzik "if you could only see" dedikten sonra öyle bir girer ki, coldplay'in another's arms'ındaki dıps sesiyle oluşan havada da aynı hissi yaşıyorum. Öyle bir anda coşturan mı ürperten mi desem. O şekil güzel bir his.
mükemmel bir tonic şarkısı. aradan bunca sene geçmesine rağmen hala taksim civarındaki mekanların bu şarkıyı çaldıklarına tanık olabilirsiniz.
"You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there" kısmı da "olmayacak duaya amin deme yeğenim" demenin ingilizcesi olarak kayıtlara geçmiştir defterimde.
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about or love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
