🎶If He Knew (Lovin’ The Same Woman)

“If He Knew” Motown Soul Story Song [Intro] (Soft horns, piano, and background singers) Ooooh baby… Sometimes the truth hides in the shadows… And sometimes love gets caught in between two friends… ⸻ [Verse 1] Me and my best friend grew up on the same street, Riding our bikes, playing ball in the summer heat, Back then there was a girl we both adored, The prettiest smile we’d ever seen before. We were young and life was moving fast, Never thought our childhood days would lead to this path, She’d laugh with him, then she’d laugh with me, None of us knew what tomorrow would be. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Now years have gone by, and we’re all grown, But some secrets never leave home… ⸻ [Chorus] If he knew what I know, what would he say? Would our friendship survive another day? There’s a baby in her arms and a question in the room, And the truth keeps growing bigger every June. If he knew, would he still call me brother? Or would he blame me for loving the same woman? Lord, I wish we knew the answer long ago… Before that little baby’s eyes began to glow. ⸻ [Verse 2] She said she loved us both in different ways, Caught between memories and yesterdays, One night became another, then another still, Young hearts chasing feelings stronger than will. Now my friend rocks that baby to sleep, While I carry a secret buried deep, Every time that little child smiles at me, I wonder if they’re seeing what nobody else can see. ⸻ [Bridge] I don’t want to lose my friend, I don’t want to break a home, But every road I travel down Brings me back to what I’ve known. Maybe blood ain’t what makes a father, Maybe love is what matters most, But these questions haunt my soul Like a memory I can’t let go. ⸻ [Chorus] If he knew what I know, what would he say? Would our friendship survive another day? There’s a baby in her arms and a question in the room, And the truth keeps growing bigger every June. If he knew, would he still call me brother? Or would he blame me for loving the same woman? Lord, I wish we knew the answer long ago… Before that little baby’s eyes began to glow. ⸻ [Outro] (Background singers repeating softly) If he knew… if he knew… Lead Vocal: Some stories don’t have villains… Just hearts trying to find their way… And a little child who deserves the truth someday… (Fade out with strings and harmonies) If he knew… if he knew… 🎶❤️
