What Would You Do
Laura Izibor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to believe in you, oh baby
Would you go, anywhere I wanna go
Around the world and back home, oh baby
And would you say all the words I need to hear
Or be there always, baby far or near
Unlock the chains and set me free
Oh, what would you do, my baby
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Live it all and run away tonight
Oh, what would you do
I'd do, anything you want me to
'Cause baby I'm in love with you, oh sugar
I'd go, anywhere you wanna go
'Cause there's no other place I
Said I'd rather be, oh
And would you say all the words I need to hear
Be there always, baby far or near
Oh, would you die for me, cry for me
Unlock the chains and set me free
Oh, what would you do, my baby
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Live it all and run away tonight
Oh, what would you do
What would you do, what would you say
If it all came tumbling down, yeah
How could I rely on you to keep my feet on the ground, yeah
And when there's nothing left but just you and me, oh
Could the love we had set us free
Oh, would you die for me, cry for me
Unlock the chains and set me free
Oh, what would you do, my baby
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Live it all and run away tonight
Oh, what would you do, my baby
And would you die for me, cry for me
(And would you die, and would you cry)
Unlock the chains and set me free
(And baby fight, oh oh)
Oh, what would you do, my baby
(Mm)
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
(And fight, what's right)
Live it all and run away tonight
(Run away tonight)
Oh, what would you do
(My baby)
Oh, oh, oh
And would you die for me, cry for me
(And would you die, and would you cry)
Unlock the chains and set me free
(And baby fight, oh oh)
Oh, what would you do, my baby
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Live it all and run away tonight
(Run away tonight)
Oh, what would you do
(My baby)
The lyrics of Laura Izibor's song "What Would You Do" speak of a question the singer poses to a loved one. She asks them whether they would do anything she wants, go anywhere she wants to go, and say all the right words she needs to hear. She expresses her trust in their relationship, asking if they would stand up for what is right and fight for her. The singer further questions what her loved one would do if things fell apart, and how far they would go to set her free from any chains.
The song is an exploration of the depth of love and trust that exists between two people. The singer wants her loved one to prove their love and commitment to her by taking actions that demonstrate their devotion. She values the security that their relationship provides and is searching for assurance that they can overcome any challenge together.
The song is relatable to many who have been in relationships and dealt with uncertainties and insecurities. The lyrics evoke the fear of betrayal and the desire for unwavering love and protection in a relationship. The song's melody repeats the chorus, giving the listener an opportunity to ruminate on the question, "What Would You Do?"
