(written by Drake Hollon)
Recorded by Florence Ballard
ABC Records single #11074 (1968)
Florence Ballard

(Solo recording)

If I were a candy dish
I'd want to be the one you keep your sweets in
My sweetnin'
And if I were a lamp
I'd want to be the one you turned on every night
Ooh, ooh baby
And if I were a bank
I'd want to hold all your deposits
And if I were a rose
I'd like to grow right in your garden
Baby, this ain't nothing new that I'm sayin' to ya
No, it's just another way of telling you
That I love you

Doesn't matter how I say it
Ooh, it's what I say that matters
And I love you, love you, love you boy
Doesn't matter how I say it
I love you, love you, love you boy
Doesn't matter how I say it

If I were a pillow, babe
I'd want to be the one you'd rest your head on
And dream on
And if I were a mountain reaching high
I'd want to be the one you climb
Ooh, ooh baby
And if I were a pipe
I'd want to be the one you're smokin'
And if I were a place
I'd want to be the place you're goin'
Baby, this ain't nothing new that I'm sayin' to ya
No, it's just another way of telling you
That I love you

Doesn't matter how I say it
Ooh, it's what I say that matters
And I love you, love you, love you boy
Doesn't matter how I say it
I love you, love you, love you boy
Doesn't matter how I say it
I love ya

Ooh, I love you, love you, love you boy
Doesn't matter how I say it
I love you, love you, love you boy
Doesn't matter how I say it
(repeat til fade)
