It's You
Flame/Robert "Don" Barham Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A dream came outta the blue last night
Telling me that you loved me
She told me that you loved me too
Is it really you?

Are you playing a game with me
Or are you playing for keeps?
Tell me baby, is it true?

Is it really you?

You know I'm mad about you
Your lips and your eyes and your hair
So come on baby, let's give it a try
We'll have a load we can share

So if you're sure that you are sure
About your love for me
Tell me baby
Tell me, please
Is it really you?

You know I'm mad about you
Your lips and your eyes and your hair
So come on baby, let's give it a try
We'll have a load we can share

So if you're sure that you are sure
About your love for me
Tell me baby
Tell me, please
Is it really you?

Is it really you?
Is it really you?

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song starts with the singer sharing his dream of being loved by someone he desires. The dream came out of nowhere, surprising him, and creating uncertainties in his mind about the authenticity of the love he saw in his dream. The second verse shows his anxiety about whether the love in his dream was a reality or just a mirage. He wants to know if the person he loves is playing games or genuinely wants to be with him. The chorus repeatedly asks the same question, "Is it really you?" because he cannot believe that his dream may have come true.

The third verse conveys the singer's feelings of love and admiration for this person. He wants to give their relationship a try to understand his feelings better. He asks the person to share a load with him and keep their love strong. In the final verse, the singer demands affirmation of the other person's love. He implores them to tell him if they genuinely love him, hence the repeated chorus question, "Is it really you?"
