The Stylistics - If I Love You

From their 1971 debut album "The Stylistics" on the Amherst Records lable. Remake of a 1970 Little Anthony & the Imperials hit. Composer: Linda Creed. Group: Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herbie Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn.

Lyrics:
All of my lonely life I've dreamed of you
(Dreamed of you)
You're like a fairy tale, a wish come true
So many times I try to let you know I'm glad you're mine
But you are so afraid someday I'm gone
Use your head

If I love
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
Why would I leave you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
If I love
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
Why would I leave you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)

Maybe I failed to make you understand
(Understand)
How much you mean to me, You're part of every plan
In every way you helped me through the problems of each day
Why can't I make you see that you're my life
You're part of me

Cause I love you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
Why would I leave you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
If I love
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
Why would I leave you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)

{music}

So many times I try to let you know I'm glad you're mine
Why can't I make you see that you're my life
You're part of me

Cause I love you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
Why would I leave you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
If I love
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
Why would I leave you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
If I love
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)
Why would I leave you
(Can't you see I'm in love with you)

If Ashford & Simpson was the songwriting team in Detroit & New York, then Thom Bell & Linda Creed (R.I.P.) represented Philly.....CLASSIC!

HERMOSA CANCIÓN. SE LA DEDICO A ELISA MAXIMILIANE BARON OVALLE EN SU CUMPLEAÑOS 14; KAREN VIVIANA RICO GOMEZ EN SU CUMPLEAÑOS 16 Y LEIDY DAYANA RODRIGUEZ SARMIENTO EN SU CUMPLEAÑOS 14. IGUALMENTE A CARMEN ELENA PINEDA ¿TODAVIA EN CALI?

We love this group!! In fact, we decided to do "PEOPLE MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND" in a studio jam session we were having! We don't claim to be the Stylistics at all, but we really did a great job!!! Our page is 4KINGTV and the song is on the second half of the "KING LIVE STUDIO PERFORMANCE" video!

How could anyone not enjoy this. The sound of Philly was the best that ever came out. that orchestra is just the bomb! When we had real music.
