If I Told You

If I told you that I like trashy romance novels
Or if I told you that I was allergic to your cat
If I told you that I sorta lied when I told you
That I really liked your mom’s green bean casserole
And if I had a tendency to roll onto your side of the bed
And hog your pillow

What if it turns out that I think your favorite movie kinda sucks
What if it turns out that you find the way I chew my food annoying
Can we still, can we still, can we still, can we still
Be in love

If I told you that I cry during telephone commercials
Or if I told you that I bleached your favorite shirt
If I told you that some of my most intellectual conversations
Have been with myself
And if I had a habit of showing up at exactly the wrong place
At the wrong time

And if it turns out that my “early” is what some people might call “late”
What if you realize I was only being nice ‘cause it was our first date
Can we still, can we still, can we still, can we still
Be in love

I’d tell you what I think
But I don’t have a clue
How can the person who drives me crazy
And the person I love the most
Both be you

If I told you that I’m a pro at manipulation
Or if I told you that I’m a closet republican
What if I thought your friends were a bunch of lazy football watching slobs
Who ate my food
And put their feet on my furniture

Baby I know that we have differences
In fact, I can’t keep track of them all
But even with the odds all stacked against us
I know our love won’t fall
‘Cause every time you make a fool of yourself
I’ll be next to you standing tall
‘Cause we’ll still, yeah we’ll still, oh we’ll still, yeah we’ll still
Be in love
