If I
Blacc Aloe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you sing with me?
Said if I sang a song
Song, would you sing with me?
If I danced a step
Would you dance with me?
(Dance with me)
If I shed a tear
And if I told a lie
Would you fall with me
All of these things I do for you
Give me a chance
To prove to you
My love is true
If I had to go
Would you leave with me?
Said if I had to go
Go, would you leave with me?
If I had no food
Would you cook for me?
(Cook for me)
If I told a joke
Would you laugh with me?
And if I asked for you to change
Would you change for me?
All of these things I do for you,
Give me a chance
To prove to you
All of these things I do for you
Give me a chance to prove to you
My love is true
If I had to die
Would you pray for me?
If I had to die
Die, would you pray for me? (would you pray for me)

The final verse looks at the ultimate test of loyalty, asking if the listener would be there for the singer even in death.
The repeated chorus line "All of these things I do for you, give me a chance to prove to you, my love is true" is a plea to the listener to trust in the singer's commitment to the relationship, and to reciprocate that trust by allowing the singer to demonstrate their love.
