[Verse 1: Kiely Williams & Adrienne Bailon]
If I never knew you, if I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of how precious life can be
And, if I never held you, I would never have a clue
How, at last, I'd find in you the missing part of me

[Interlude: Kiely Williams, Adrienne Bailon & Sabrina Bryan]
In this world, so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear in your eyes
So, dry your eyes

[Refrain: The Cheetah Girls]
And, I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through lost forever
If I never knew you

[Verse 2: Kiely Williams]
And, if I never knew you, I'd be safe, but half as real
Never knowing I could feel a love so strong and true

[Refrain 1: The Cheetah Girls]
And, I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through lost forever
If I never knew you
[Bridge 1: Sabrina Bryan & Adrienne Bailon]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow, we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night
But, still my heart is sayin' we were right

[Verse 3: Adrienne Bailon]
(Oh, oh-oh)
If I never knew you
(There's no moment I regret)
If I never knew your love
(Since the moment that we met)
I would have no inkling of how precious life can be
(If our time has gone too fast, I have lived at last)
Oh, oh-oh, yea-yea-yeah, yeah-ah, yeah

[Bridge 2: Adrienne Bailon, Sabrina Bryan, & Kiely Williams]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow, we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And, still my heart is sayin' we were right
We were right

[Refrain 2: The Cheetah Girls & Adrienne Bailon]
And, if I never knew you (If I never knew you)
I'd have lived my whole life through-
Empty as the sky, never knowing why
Lost forever, if I never knew you
[Outro: The Cheetah Girls & Adrienne Bailon]
If I never knew you
Oh-oh
If I never knew you
