S'posin'
Frank Sinatra & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think that you could love me too?
S'posin' I should hold you and caress you
Would it impress you or, perhaps, distress you?
S'posin' I should say "For you I yearn"
Would ya think I'm speaking out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
S'posin' I should say "For you I yearn"
Would ya think that I'm speakin' out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posin' 'cause I'm in love with you
The lyrics to Frank Sinatra's "S'posin'" describe a hypothetical situation where the singer falls in love with someone and wonders if the feeling is mutual. The song is filled with questions and uncertainties about whether or not the other person would reciprocate the singer's feelings. The use of "s'posin'" in each stanza emphasizes the hypothetical and imaginary nature of the situation.
In the first stanza, the singer asks if the other person could love him too if he were to fall in love with them. The second stanza continues with the idea of physical affection, asking if holding and caressing the other person would impress or distress them. The third stanza gets more direct, with the singer declaring his love and asking if the other person would take it and share it.
Ultimately, the refrain "I'm not s'posin', I'm in love with you" indicates that the singer is no longer being hypothetical and is expressing genuine feelings of love towards the other person.
Overall, the lyrics to "S'posin'" capture the uncertainty and vulnerability of falling in love and wondering if the other person feels the same way.
