Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sittin over here
Starin in your face
With lust in my eyes
Sure don't give a damn and ya
Don't know that I've been dreamin of ya in
My fantasies
Never once you looked at me
Don't even realize that I'm wantin you
To fulfill my needs
Think what you want
Let your mind free
Run free to a place no one dares to

How many night I've laid in bed excited over you
I've closed my eyes and thought of us a hundred different ways
I've gotten there so many times I wonder how bout you
Day and night
Night and day
All I've got to say is

If I was your girl
Oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name
I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman
The things I'd do to you
But I'm not
So I can't
Then I won't
But
If I was your girl

Allow me some time to play with your mind
And you'll get there again and again
Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed
Take your time cuz we've got all night, oooh
You on the rise as you're touchin my thighs and
Let me know what you like
If you like I'll go
Down da down down down da down down
I'll hold you in my hand and baby

Your smooth and shiny
Feels so good against my lips sugar
I want you so bad I can
Taste your love right now baby
Day and night
Night and day
All i've got to say is

If I was your girl
Oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name
I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman
The things I'd do to you
But I'm not
So I can't
Then I won't
But
If I was your girl

If I was your girl
Oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name
I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman
The things I'd do to you
But I'm not
So I can't
Then I won't
But
If I was your girl

I've laid in bed excited over you
One hundred different way I've thought ya
Many, maaany
(day and night, night and day)
Allll I got to say is

If I was your girl
Oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name
I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman
The things I'd do to you
But I'm not
So I can't
Then I won't
But
If I was your girl

If I was your girl
Oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name
I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman
The things I'd do to you
But I'm not
So I can't
Then I won't
But
If I was your girl

If I was your girl
Oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name
I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman
The things I'd do to you
But I'm not
So I can't
Then I won't




But
If I was your girl

Overall Meaning

" If" is a song by Janet Jackson that was released in 1993. The song is about a woman who is silently longing for a man that she finds attractive. Despite her wishes, she is unable to express her feelings to him because he has not made any move to show that he is interested. Throughout the song, the woman muses about what she would do if she were his woman. She imagines the sexual things she would do to him and how he would respond. The song is about unrequited love, longing, and wanting something that seems unattainable.


In the opening stanza, it’s clear that the singer is yearning for someone who does not seem to notice her. She stares in his face with lustful eyes but does not get any recognition from him. In her mind, she fantasizes about him while laying in bed, imagining what it would be like to be with him. The chorus portrays the woman’s desire to be the man’s woman and much she would cater to his needs if he were hers.


The lyrics of the song depict a sense of longing and a desire for something more than just a physical connection. The singer imagines an emotional connection that she would create with the man if given the opportunity. She wants something more than just a one-night stand or a sexual relationship. The song showcases the difficulties of expressing one’s feelings and the fear of being rejected.

Are we sure this isn't a live-action version of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends? Because it sure looks like it!

@manuelorozco7760

It would be if it was a Warner Bros movie. I wasn’t a huge fan of the show anyway

@madcatter427

That show is actually returning ccraig McCracken has teased!

@manuelorozco7760

@@madcatter427 But it’s the pre school target audience they are going for I’m worried about.

@patax144

I think the main imaginary friend is named blue too, they aren't hiding it.
