If You Had My
Jennifer Lopez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me
And if somehow you knew that
Your love would be untrue would you lie to me
And call me baby
Now if I give you me, this is how it's got to be
Tell me who can I trust if I can't trust in you
And I refuse to let you play me for a fool
You said that we could possibly spend eternity
See, that's what you told me, that's what you said
But if you want me you'll have to be fulfilling all my dreams
If you really want me babe
If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me, tell me baby
And if somehow you knew that
Your love would be untrue would you lie to me
And call me baby
You say you want my love and you got to have it all
But first there are some things you need to know
If you wanna live with all I have to give
I need to feel true love or it's got to end, yeah
I don't want you tryin' to get with me and I end up unhappy
I don't need the hurt and I don't need the pain
So before I do give myself to you I have to know the truth
If I spend my life with you
If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me (what would you do babe, tell me right now)
And if somehow you knew that
Your love would be untrue would you lie to me
And call me baby (don't you lie to me)
If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me (comfort me, tell me baby)
And if somehow you knew that
Your love would be untrue would you lie to me
And call me baby (don't you lie to me)
(If you had) If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me (tell me baby)
And if somehow you knew that
Your love would be untrue would you lie to me
And call me baby
If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me
"If You Had My Love" is a song recorded by Jennifer Lopez in 1999 for her debut studio album, "On the 6". The song, which was written by Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels, and Cory Rooney, is about love and trust in a relationship. The lyrics tell a story of a woman who is questioning whether her partner would remain faithful if granted her love and trust. The chorus repeats the question of whether the partner would lie and call her baby if their love was untrue. Lopez sings about her need for someone who could fulfill her dreams and who she could trust.
The song's music video was directed by Paul Hunter and featured Lopez in various scenes, including a white room where she performs for the camera, a blue room where she watches multiple screens showing her fans, and a set mixed with futuristic and primitive touches. "If You Had My Love" became a hit, reaching the No. 1 position of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

If you had my love
If you truly loved me
And I gave you all my trust
And if I trusted you completely
Would you comfort me, tell me baby
Would you support me emotionally, my dear?
And if somehow you knew that
But what if you discovered
Your love would be untrue would you lie to me
That your feelings for me weren't genuine, would you deceive me?
And call me baby (don't you lie to me)
And pretend to care for me (don't you deceive me)
Now if I give you me, this is how it's got to be
If I were to be with you, these are my conditions
First of all I won't take your cheating on me
I can't accept infidelity from you
Tell me who can I trust if I can't trust in you
If I can't rely on you, then who can I trust?
And I refuse to let you play me for a fool
I won't allow you to take advantage of me
You said that we could possibly spend eternity
You promised me forever
See, that's what you told me, that's what you said
That's what you assured me of
But if you want me you'll have to be fulfilling all my dreams
But if you want to be with me, you'll have to fulfill all my aspirations
If you really want me babe
If you truly desire me
You say you want my love and you got to have it all
You claim to want my love and want it all
But first there are some things you need to know
But first you need to be aware
I need to feel true love or it's got to end, yeah
My love needs to be genuine or this won't work
I don't want you tryin' to get with me and I end up unhappy
I don't want to be with you and end up miserable
I don't need the hurt and I don't need the pain
I don't want the anguish or the distress
So before I do give myself to you I have to know the truth
So, I need to know the reality before committing to you
If you had my love
If you truly had my affection
And I gave you all my trust
And if I completely confided in you
Would you comfort me (what would you do babe, tell me right now)
Would you support me (please tell me your response now)
And if somehow you knew that
But what if you discovered
Your love would be untrue would you lie to me
That your feelings for me weren't genuine, would you deceive me?
And call me baby (don't you lie to me)
And pretend to care for me (don't you deceive me)

She was 30 years old when she performed this. And that was the year of her breakthrough. You're never too old to do something. One of her best songs. Classic.
