If I were you
Brooke Allison Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse One
If I were you
If he were mine
I would give him my whole world
Until the end of time
If I were you
If I were his
I would always let him know

How precious his love is

Pre Chorus
If for one day he wanted me
I would show him all that love's supposed to be

Chorus
If he ever called my name
I'd never be too far
If he ever needed hope
I'd give him all my heart
If he ever made a wish
I'd try to reach him a star
That's what I'd do
He could always count on me
If I were you

Verse Two
You see his smile
You know his touch
But without the things I feel for him
It doesn't mean as much
You have his heart
And he has mine
Though I know there's nothing I can say
To change his mind

Pre Chorus
But if he chose me instead of you
I would show him all the things my love can do

Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Brooke Allison's song "If I Were You" paint the picture of a woman who longs for the man that another woman has. The first verse expresses how the singer would treat the man differently if he were hers. She would give him her entire world and remind him of how precious his love is. The pre-chorus reveals that the woman is aware that the man probably won't choose her, but if he did, she would show him what true love is supposed to be. The chorus is the most powerful and catchy part of the song, and the woman sings that she would always be there for the man if he called her name, needed hope, or made a wish. She promises that she would give him all her heart and try to make his dreams come true.

The second verse acknowledges that while the other woman has the man's heart, without the singer's love, it doesn't mean as much. The woman singing knows that there's nothing she can say to make the man change his mind, but if he ever chose her instead, she'd show him all the things her love can do. Throughout the entirety of the song, the woman's love for the man is unwavering, and she longs for him even though he is already taken.

You see his smile
You know when he is happy

You know his touch
You have felt his physical presence

But without the things I feel for him
But you cannot comprehend the depth of my emotions for him

It doesn't mean as much
His smile and touch aren't enough to satisfy my love for him

You have his heart
He loves you and holds you dear

And he has mine
I also love him, but he is yours after all

Though I know there's nothing I can say
Even though speaking up won't change anything

To change his mind
To make him choose me instead of you
