《麵包合唱團》中《if》的完整歌詞如下：
女：
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know just what I mean
When you hear this song
男：
You will know just what I mean
女：
It's a simple song
It's a beautiful song
For a girl who leans on a young man
When her dreams all come to an end
男：
So don't think twice
It's alright
It's alright
Just hold me tight
It's alright
Just hold me tight
女：
Oh I know I can depend
男：
Oh I know I can depend
女：
Oh I know I can depend on you
男：
Oh I know I can depend on you
女：
And if you feel like I do
You will know what I mean
男：
When you hear this song
合：
You will know what I mean
男：
So don't think twice
It's alright
It's alright
Just hold me tight
It's alright
Just hold me tight
合：
Don't let me go away, my friend
Just hold me, close my dear, tonight
