If She Would Have Been Faithful... Lyrics

	


I was thinking about her 
Visiting the past 
Reconstructing details with old photographs 
Studying the faces 
With an objective point of view 
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me 
At the time you couldn't tell me 
That one day I'd be glad 
That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted 
She had another lover- she emphatically denied 
But they were doin' me a favor 
A blessing in disguise 

CHORUS: 
If she would have been faithful 
If she could have been true 
Then I would've been cheated 
I would never know real love 
I would've missed out on you 

I watch you sleeping- your body touchin' me 
There's no doubt about it 
This is where I want to be 
It's so ironic- I had to lose to win 
I want to thank her (Thank her again) 

CHORUS 

Bridge: 
It's a paradox- full of contradiction 
How I got from there to here 
It defies a 
Logical explanation 

CHORUS

I love this song! It sounds great, but the lyrics are insane. It's like someone wrote lyrics with a thesaurus. Its a paradox full of contradictions? Yeah, that's a paradox all right. It does defy a logical explanation. But that's what makes it great!

Obviously, this song is saying that if his ex-love hadn't cheated on him, he wouldn't have found his new long. "I had to lose to win" -- it was probably really hard to lose the other woman, but now he's glad cause if he hadn't ever lost, he wouldn't have won with the woman he's with now, who apparently is MUCH better than the last girl.

DP, you are SO right... I remember hearing this song when I was 11 and wondering why they tried to hard to force such big words into the song, it makes it so ridiculous!!
