If I Ever
Mike J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl when you call you know I’m there
We can do it everywhere
But we both said that we would keep it on the low (oh oh)
(Verse)
‘Cause when you frisk me it’s our little secret
I don’t need everybody, I’ve been up in this
(Pre-Chorus)
So if I ever wanna rock you down
Girl I know that you’re gon be around
If I ever start to fall in love
If I ever ever fall, if I ever
(Chorus)
It’s gon be with you
It’s gon be with you
It’s gon be with you
If I ever ever fall, if I ever
(Verse)
No other friends that can compare
You got my heart and my attention
And when we touch you can tell that it’s so real
So real!
(Verse)
It’s not my time to fall in love
Be on this grind, straight comin up
But girl that when I get back
It might be happy ever after
(Pre-Chorus)
So if I ever wanna rock you down
Girl I know that you’re gon be around
If I ever start to fall in love
If I ever ever fall, if I ever
(Chorus)
It’s gon be with you
It’s gon be with you
It’s gon be with you
If I ever ever fall, if I ever
(Bridge)
It’s clear to see I got a thing for you
And there ain’t nobody nobody I rather do
Until we ready to settle down, promise to hold it down
Make that promise to me
(Bridge)
It’s clear to see I got a thing for you
And there ain’t nobody nobody I rather do
Until we ready to settle down, promise to hold it down
Make that promise to me
The song "If I Ever" by Mike J talks about a secret relationship between two people who have promised to keep it on the low. The song begins by acknowledging that the woman he is involved with has a hold on him. He's always there for her even if they have to do it everywhere, but they both have made a promise to keep it on the low. They both seem to have some sort of understanding, and he makes a passing reference to being happy that she feels the same way too. The chorus, which is repeated multiple times, explains that if he ever falls in love, it's going to be with her.
The second verse speaks about how this relationship has his heart and his attention, indicating he's committed to this, at least for now. He acknowledges that he's not looking for something serious right now as he's focusing on his career, but if he ever decides to settle down, it would be with her. The bridge expresses his feelings that he has a thing for her, and there is no one else he'd rather be with. He wants her to make a promise that until they're ready to settle down, she'll hold it down.
Overall, the song is about being in a secret relationship, where they both know what it is and what they want from it. They are taking things slowly, enjoying each other's company, and waiting for the right time to move forward.
