Posin?
His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think that you could love me too?
Sposin' I should hold you and caress you,
Would it impress you, or distress you?
[Chorus]
Sposin' I should say "For you I yearn,"
Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!
[Chorus]
I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!
The lyrics to His Orchestra's song 'Posin' convey a sense of hesitation and vulnerability in expressing one's feelings. The lyrics begin with a rhetorical question, "Sposin' I should fall in love with you," which intimates that the song's protagonist has some reservations about admitting their feelings. They then ask if the person they are addressing would reciprocate their feelings, were they to express them. The overall sense is one of insecurity and doubt about the reception of their affections.
The chorus continues this theme, with similar rhetorical questions, "Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?" and "Would you take my love and share it?" The singer appears to ask these questions as a way of gauging whether or not the object of their affections is interested in them. The song closes in a soft admission of love, "I'm not sposin', I'm in love with you." The sentiment here is that all of the rhetorical questions don't matter because the singer wants the person they are addressing to know that they love them.
Overall, 'Posin' is a tender and heartfelt song that conveys the complexities of expressing one's feelings to another person. It offers a sense of vulnerability and the fear of rejection that many people experience when they fall in love.

Sposin' I should fall in love with you,
Suppose I were to develop romantic feelings toward you,
Do you think that you could love me too?
Would you be willing or able to reciprocate those feelings if I expressed them?
Sposin' I should hold you and caress you,
If I were to hold you in my arms and show physical affection,
Would it impress you, or distress you?
Would it have a positive or negative effect on you?
[Chorus] Sposin' I should say 'For you I yearn,'
If I were to admit that I have a strong desire for you,
Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?
Would you consider my expression inappropriate or untimely?
An' sposin' I would declare it,
And what if I were to state it explicitly,
Would you take my love and share it?
Would you be willing to accept my love and reciprocate it?
I'm not sposin',
But I'm not just making hypotheticals,
I'm in love with you!
I'm telling you that I actually have feelings of romantic love for you.
[Chorus]
I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!

Here's a dance you ought' to do
Let me introduce to you~
Posin'
Everybody Pose!
Get a partner then begin
Hold whatever pose you're in
Posin'
Everybody Pose!
It's a dance that you can dance with your girl or wife
Find a pose than stop
Position and everything in life
You find yourself can't tellin' when
There is no stop but start again
Posin'
everybody pose!

Right-on! 40s on 4 is where I first heard this piece. Did some research on Lunceford and found his tragic death. A sad time in our history.
