If You Love Somebody
Nathan Carter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mount Everest, I'll climb it
No problem, just say when
Mississippi, I'll swim it
Down to the Delta, and back again

If you love somebody
You do anything
If you love somebody
You jump up a thing
Well, there ain't no limit to the things you do
If you love somebody
The way that I do you

Get a ladder, a cheap guitar
I'll serenade you under the stars
Scream and shout, make a scene
Tell the whole world you're the girl of my dreams

If you love somebody
You do anything
If you love somebody
You jump up a thing
Well, there ain't no limit to the things you do
If you love somebody
The way that I do you

Ooh, send me down the river with my soul on fire
The thought of you
Makes the weight of this world seem a little bit lighter
If you love somebody
If you love somebody
Ooh, send me down the river with my soul on fire
The thought of you
Makes the weight of this world seem a little bit lighter (little bit lighter)
You know you're taking me higher, higher

(If you love somebody)
You do anything
(If you love somebody)
You jump up a thing
Well, there ain't no limit to the things you do
If you love somebody
The way that I do you

(If you love somebody)
That's what you do
(If you love somebody)
And your love is true
Well, there ain't no limit to the things you do
If you love somebody
The way that I do you
The way that I do you, yeah
