Analysis of If I Knew How I Would
If I knew how to love you more I would
If I knew how to soothe your core I would
If I knew how to make you fly I would
If I knew how to please your eye I would
If I knew how to give you sun I would
If I knew how to boost your fun I would
If I knew how to let you chill I would
If I knew how to keep your thrill I would
If I knew how to help you rate I would
If I knew how to cheer your fate I would
If I knew how to grant you peace I would
If I knew how to break your cease I would
