If You Asked Me To
Céline Dion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in
But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life, forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life, forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you

Ask me to, I will give my world to you, baby
I need you now (I need you now)
Ask me to and I'll do anything (anything) for you, baby
For you, baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
All you gotta do is ask me to
All you gotta do, all you gotta do
All you gotta do is ask me to
If you asked me to (I'd give you my world, I'd give you my world)
Everything, everything, baby
If you asked me to (just ask me to)
I'd give you every last thing you wanted to do
Just ask me to
If you ask me to, I'll change my mind




I'll change my mind
If you ask me

Overall Meaning

In Céline Dion's song If You Asked Me To, she sings about the fear of being hurt again after experiencing heartbreak. The song is about learning to trust and love again. In the first verse, Dion sings about how she used to believe in love but has not felt that way in a long time. She is guarded and afraid of getting hurt again, so she refuses to let anyone get close to her. However, in the chorus, she admits that if the right person were to ask her to open up and trust again, she just might change her mind.


The second verse is about how Dion has found someone special that she cannot imagine being without. She acknowledges that she has finally found her home and that she no longer wants to be free. She is willing to give her heart and stay in her partner's arms forever if they ask her to.


Overall, If You Asked Me To is a powerful song about the vulnerability and courage it takes to love again after experiencing heartbreak.
