I Would
On direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been dreaming about you a lot
And up in my head I'm your boyfriend
But that's one thing you've already got
He drives to school every morning
While I walk alone in the rain
He'd kill me without any warning
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Back in my head we were kissing
I thought things were going alright
With a sign on my back saying kick me
Reality ruined my life
Feels like I'm constantly playing
A game that I'm destined to lose
'Cause I can't compete with your boyfriend
He's got twenty seven tattoos
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he please you
Would he kiss you
Would he treat you like I would
Would he touch you
Would he need you
Would he love you like I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he please you
Would he kiss you
Would he treat you like I would
Would he touch you
Would he need you
Would he love you like I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then
I would, I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
I would, I would yeah
The song "I Would" by One Direction is a love song where the singer is expressing his love for a girl who already has a boyfriend. The lyrics suggest that the singer has strong feelings for this girl, and he believes that he would treat her better than her current boyfriend. Throughout the song, he dreams about being with her and wonders if her boyfriend loves her as much as he does. The lyrics reveal that the singer is jealous of the boyfriend and feels he cannot compete with him because he lacks tattoos and a cool image.
The first verse of the song creates an image of the singer's obsession and love for a girl who he cannot be with. The second verse conveys that he is constantly struggling to reconcile his feelings for her, knowing that he can never have her. He imagines being with her, but it is all in his head. The chorus of the song is a declaration of his love for her, and he asks her to know that he would treat her better than her current boyfriend does.
Overall, "I Would" can be interpreted as a song about unrequited love, where the singer dreams of being with someone who cannot be his. The song is an expression of his frustration and longing, as he struggles with the fact that he will never have the girl he loves.

Lately I found myself thinking
I've been thinking about you a lot lately
Been dreaming about you a lot
I've been having dreams about you
And up in my head I'm your boyfriend
In my head, we're in a relationship
But that's one thing you've already got
I know you're already in a relationship with someone else
He drives to school every morning
Your current boyfriend drives to school every morning
While I walk alone in the rain
I have to walk alone in the rain
He'd kill me without any warning
If he knew what I was thinking, he'd be angry and might even harm me
If he took a look in my brain
If he knew what was going on in my head
Back in my head we were kissing
In my head, we were kissing
I thought things were going alright
I thought everything was okay
With a sign on my back saying kick me
It feels like I'm setting myself up for failure
Reality ruined my life
The reality that we can't be together is making me unhappy
Feels like I'm constantly playing
It feels like I'm playing a game
A game that I'm destined to lose
A game that I know I can't win
Cause I can't compete with your boyfriend
I can't compete with the guy you're with
He's got twenty seven tattoos
He has a lot of tattoos, which makes him seem cooler than me
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Does your boyfriend love you?
Well if it was me then I would
If I were in his place, I would say I love you
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Does your boyfriend comfort you when you're sad?
Baby you should know that I would
You should know that I would be there for you
Would he please you
Does your boyfriend please you?
Would he kiss you
Does your boyfriend kiss you?
Would he treat you like I would
Would your boyfriend treat you as well as I would?
Would he touch you
Does your boyfriend touch you?
Would he need you
Does your boyfriend need you?
Would he love you like I would
Would your boyfriend love you as much as I would?
I would, I would yeah
I would do all those things, no matter what

Lately I found myself thinking
Been dreaming about you a lot
And up in my head I’m your boyfriend
But that’s one thing you’ve already got
He drives to school every morning
While I walk alone in the rain
He’d kill me without any warning
If he took a look in my brain
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would, I would
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would
Back in my head we were kissing
I thought things were going alright
With a sign on my back saying ‘kick me’
Reality ruined my life
Feels like I’m constantly playing
A game that I’m destined to lose
Cause I can’t compete with your boyfriend
He’s got 27 tattoos
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would, I would
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?

Lately I found myself thinking
Ultimamente eu me peguei pensando
Been dreaming about you a lot
Estive sonhando muito com você
And up in my head I’m your boyfriend
E na minha cabeça, eu sou seu namorado
But that’s one thing you’ve already got
Mas isso é uma coisa que você já tem
He drives to school every morning
Ele dirige para a escola todas as manhãs
While I walk alone in the rain
Enquanto eu ando sozinho na chuva
He’d kill me without any warning
Ele me mataria sem qualquer aviso
If he took a look in my brain
Se ele desse uma olhada nos meus pensamentos
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que esta a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Ele te abraçaria quando você está se sentindo triste?
Baby you should know that I would, I would
Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que está a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Ele te abraçaria quando você está se sentindo triste?
Baby you should know that I would
Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Back in my head we were kissing
Na minha cabeça, estamos nos beijando
I thought things were going alright
Eu pensei que as coisas estavam indo bem
With a sign on my back saying ‘kick me’
Com um sinal nas costas dizendo "me chute"
Reality ruined my life
A realidade arruinou a minha vida
Feels like I’m constantly playing
Parece que estou jogando constantemente
A game that I’m destined to lose
Um jogo que eu estou destinado a perder
Cause I can’t compete with your boyfriend
Porque eu não posso competir com o seu namorado
He’s got 27 tattoos
Ele tem 27 tatuagens
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que esta a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Ele te abraçaria quando você está se sentindo triste?

Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?

Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Would he please you?
Ele te agradaria?
Would he kiss you?
Ele te beijaria?
Would he treat you like I would?
Ele te trataria como eu?
Would he touch you?
Ele te tocaria?
Would he need you?
Ele precisaria de você?
Would he love you like I would?
Ele te amaria como eu?
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que esta a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
