If I Can't Have You
A. Kay-B.J. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(him) Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
(both) I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

(him) Sombody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
(both) I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
(him) A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
(her) Still in love with you

(her) Today I passed you on the street
(him) Today I passed you on the street
(her) And my heart fell at your feet
(him) And my heart fell at your feet
(him) I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

(her) Somebody else stood by your side
(him) Somebody else stood by your side
(her) And he looked so satisfied
(him) And you know he looked so satisfied
(him) I can' help it if I'm still in love with you

(him) It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss
How much that I miss yea




I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
(her) Still in love with you

Line by Line Meaning

Today I passed you on the street
Today, I encountered you while walking on the street


And my heart fell at your feet
Seeing you made me feel overwhelmed with emotions


I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
It's not under my control to fall out of love with you


Somebody else stood by your side
I saw someone else standing next to you


And he looked so satisfied
He appeared content and happy next to you


A picture from the past came slowly stealing
A memory from our past resurfaced gradually


As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
When I unintentionally touched your arm and walked close to you


Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
At that moment, I felt the same emotions I did in the past


It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
It's painful to think that someone else will kiss you


And hold you just the way I used to do
And hold you like I did before


Oh heaven only knows how much I miss
I can't express how much I miss you


How much that I miss yea
I really miss you


Still in love with you
I'm still in love with you

Meus amigos, eu estou convidando a todos dançar ao som da nova postagem no meu canal e, desta vez, é da surpreendente e desconhecida cantor, por mim, que conheci em 2018, que é a banda “A. Kay B.J. (Perfil: Projeto de Dance Music italiano do Grupo S.A.I.F.A.M. // Membros: Fabio Turatti, Gino Zandonà, Mauro Farina, Paolino Nobile, Silvio Melloni)” e sua ótima, nostálgica e, é claro, empolgante, sensacional, fantástica e suprema (como diz meu amigo Bruno Batista) música arrasa-quarteirão “If I Can't Have You (Cover Club Mix ‎– 1993)” e que foi lançada, mundialmente, em forma de single, no ano de 1993!! Que maravilha, não é, pessoal?!! Viva a Eurodance!! Viva os Anos 90!! Então, aproveitem e curtem bastante o nosso querido canal dando aquele joinha nos vídeos e acionem o sininho para receberem as notificações de novos vídeos, meus amigos!!
