Ali Gatie – What If I Told You That I Love You Lyrics

What If I Told You That I Love You Lyrics by Ali Gatie

“What If I Told You That I Love You?” is a guitar-beat ballad by Canadian singer-songwriter Ali Gatie.

In the track, Ali Gatie describes the situation of a person reminiscing about a past relationship, wondering how the ex-partner would answer to certain straight questions. The person’s trust has probably been abused, but he still keeps a spark of hope for the relationship.

The song gained a lot of attention pre-release through several snippets that Gatie posted, beginning in November 2019. Three YouTube uploads of the snippet, prior to the release, were able to reach over 2M views each.
Moreover, the song’s snippets went viral on the social platform TikTok, where over 500K videos were uploaded using the snippet’s audio prior to the release of the full song.
It became a trend video format that TikTok users messaged the chorus’s questions either to their ex partner or to their crush, while recording the emerging chat synced with the snippet audio (example.)

[Intro]
What if I told you that I love you?
Would you tell me that you love me back?
What if I told you that I miss you?
Would you tell me that you miss me back?

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I told you that I need you? (Need you)
Would you tell me that you need me, yeah?
If I tell you all my feelings (Feelings)
Would you believe me, yeah?

[Chorus]
What if I told you that I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you? Yeah
What if I told you that I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you? Yeah
What if I told you that I need you? (Need you, need you)
Would you tell me that you need me, too?
What if I told you that I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you?

[Verse 1]
Ayy, when you told me that you’d love me
Was I a fool to believe in you?
When you told me I was special
Was I dumb for trusting you?
When you told me that you want me
Did you really want me?
Or was this all a joke to you? (To you, to you)
I don’t wanna say, “I miss you”
If I don’t know that you miss me back (Oh, no, no)
I don’t wanna say the wrong thing
If I do, there’s no coming back

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I told you that I need you? (Need you)
Would you tell me that you need me, yeah?
If I tell you all my feelings (Feelings)
Would you believe me, yeah?

[Chorus]
What if I told you that I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you? (Na-na-na)
Yeah, what if I told you that I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you?

[Verse 2]
I wish I told you that I loved you
Now it’s too late, you have someone new
I hope he loves you like I do
Do you love the way he’s treating you?

[Bridge]
What if I told you that I love you?
Would you tell me that you love me back? (Me back)
If I told you that I miss you
Would you tell me that you miss me back? (Me back)

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I told you that I need you?
Would you tell me that you need me, yeah?
If I tell you all my feelings
Would you believe me, yeah?

[Chorus]
What if I told you that I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you? Yeah
What if I told you that I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you? Yeah
What if I told you that I need you?
Would you tell me that you need me, too?
What if I told you that I love you?
What if I told you that I—
