Just think
I could've stayed with the guy
Who was driving me out of control
Or worse
I could be shacked up and settled
With someone I don't even know
We could have good sex, dish sets
Walks in the park while the sun was still setting
But would he spin me
In the middle of the dance floor at somebody's wedding?

If you weren't out on that patio smoking your cigarette
I wouldn't even know you
If you hadn't chimed into my conversation
I wouldn't be able to show you
Just how much somebody could love someone else
It's more than the stars up above
Oh darlin' if I didn't know you
I wouldn't know love
Oh darlin' if I didn't know you
I wouldn't know love

Just think
I could've said to my pal
I am not going out not tonight
Or worse
I could've been at that bar
And seen you from afar and got too shy
You could have any man but me
You are the best thing I ever laid eyes on
And you chose this road
Now the sun's just a'rising on my new horizon

If you weren't out on that patio smoking your cigarette
I wouldn't even know you
If you hadn't chimed into my conversation
I wouldn't be able to show you
Just how much somebody could love someone else
It's more than the stars up above
Oh darlin' if I didn't know you
I wouldn't know love
Oh darlin' if I didn't know you
I wouldn't know love

What if some god up above had other plans for me
Maybe the two of us would be like ships in the night
Out on the sea
Oh I wanna turn back the time and say to myself
When I had no one else
When I said I'd be lonely forever
That it gets better

Just think you could be standing in front
Of your lifelong love here today
But worst of all you could get nervous
Say you don't deserve it and then walk away
Oh oh oh

If you weren't out on that patio smoking your cigarette
I wouldn't even know you
If you hadn't chimed into my conversation
I wouldn't be able to show you
Just how much somebody could love someone else
It's more than the stars up above
Oh darlin' if I didn't know you
I wouldn't know love
Oh darlin' if I didn't know you
I wouldn't know love
