lyrics
Guess I'm just afraid
I'm not the kind who makes it last forever
And in my selfish way I think I'm clever
Until you cry
Do you wanna leave?
You can let it go because you're strong
But one day without your love seemed so long
And I sigh, how I sigh
If this is love, darling
Now's the time to wake up
Hurting words can't really shake up someone's life
If this is love, darling
It's time to stop pretending
We'll never have a happy ending while we cry
Isn't it a shame
How one excuse still leads into another
After all this time we hurt each other?
Isn't it a shame?
Time to make a change
Time to find the things we both believe in
Talk about the staying, not the leaving
If this is love, darling
Now's the time to wake up
Hurting words can't really shake up someone's life
If this is love, darling
It's time to stop pretending
We'll never have a happy ending while we cry
If this is love, darling
Now's the time to wake up
Hurting words can't really shake up someone's life
If this is love, darling
It's time to stop pretending
We'll never have a happy ending while we cry
"If This Is Love" is a song written by Kerry Chater and Robbie Patton which was recorded by Joey Travolta for his 1978 debut album Joey Travolta. The album's advance single: "I Don't Wanna Go", had been issued in May 1978 and had approached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 but ultimately stalled at #43. Issued as a single concurrently with its parent album's release in September 1978, "If This is Love" would not accrue enough popularity to reach the Hot 100: it did spend six weeks in the 101-150 Singles chart in Record World magazine rising as high as #115.[2]
The song had earlier been recorded
by Tom Jones for
his 1977 album What a Night (1977),
with another 1978 recording being made by Peter Pringle. "If This is Love" was
subsequently recorded by Randy Edelman for his 1979 album You're
the One from which it was issued as a single, by Glen Campbell - with Tanya Tucker as background vocalist - for
his 1980 album Somethin'
'Bout You Baby I Like, Melissa Manchester for
her 1980 album For the Working Girl,
and by Nigel Olsson for
his 1980 album Changing Tides (1980). The Melissa Manchester
version was issued as its album's first single release and became a Top
20 Adult
Contemporary hit also reaching #102 on the Bubbling Under Hot
100 in Billboard (while
failing to register on the 101-150 Singles chart in Record World).
