Analysis of If You
NiecieSlay87 1987 (Panama City)
If you Hug me
Don't let go
If you Touch me
Let it be as gentle as a rose petal
If you Kiss me
Let it be as passionate as the fire that burns inside your soul
If you Make Love to me
Let it be like rain hard at times but gentle when it counts
If you Fall in Love with me
Let it be pure and true because my heart will always belong to you
