	   | If You Loved Me, You'd Be There for Me
 
 
| If you loved me, you'd be there for me To help me do the things I want to do.
 My whole life wouldn't be only for you,
 Nor would my love determine who you'd be.
 
 I want you to respect what I do well,
 To share the joy I feel when I succeed,
 To give me the encouragement I need,
 To be my wings, not my protective shell.
 
 I love you, and I want you to be mine,
 But I would never say you're not allowed
 To be a person who would make me proud,
 To step outside into your own sunshine.
