If I Had You
Chloe Gasparini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me upside down
Six minutes without blinking
My voice won't make a sound
You got me, you stopped me
I think I'm going nutty
Oh what's a girl to do?
I've seen you everyday
And now I think I'm ready to play the game
If I had you oh I'd never forget
How perfect you've been since the day that we met
When I see your face I become a mess
Now my cards are on the table
I wanna know what it would be like
If I had you
I think I'm going crazy
There's too much to take in
You're all I speak of lately
Don't know where to begin
But you won't see me
I'm screaming
Oh what's a girl to do to get you to make a move
I keep digging my hole
And I keep falling down
And now I think I'm ready to come around
If I had you oh I'd never forget
How perfect you've been since the day that we met
When I see your face my god I'm a mess
But now my cards are on the table
I wanna know what it would be like
If I had you
I need a magic spell, I need a neon sign
Just trust me I can tell that I won't change my mind
‘Cause I promise you all that I can do
Is what you need and if it works for you then it works for me
Yeah
If I had you oh I'd never forget
How perfect you've been since the day, the day we met
When I see your face my god I'm a mess
But now my cards are on the table
I wanna know what it would be like
Yeah my cards are on the table
I wanna know what it would be like
Yeah my cards are on the table
I wanna know what it would be like
Woah If I had you

My friend had this on repeat the other night when I was trapped in traffic with him for an hour getting out of a parking lot after the fireworks! Instantly addicted.
