If I Gave You My Heart
Phora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Talking:]
This track right here, is for the one
Not the ones that think they the ones
But this is for the one, that knows she's the one
& those ones that think they the one might think this the one about the one
But this is the one about the one that knows she's the one

[Verse 1:]
Authenticity lives deep within the words
Dreamin' of the sky, & she's sleeping with the birds
& when she wakes up, she's prettier than ever, she don't ever need no make up
Every single night we conversate, & we stay up 6 hours talking on the phone
It assures me when I look into your eyes I'm not alone
She's ain't trippin' on no facebook statues, or which girl that is
She trust me & I never ever dare to take advantage
Grab me by my hand & she asked me if I knew Spanish
& I told her Si, poquito mi amor. I'm not your average
Not just my lover,you're my bestfriend
My pride & joy & I will never treat you less than
We both got a past but don't let it ruin our future
That beautiful voice is something I'm willing to get used to
I mean, I ain't the type to have theses girls on the side
Better yet, I'm the type to keep that girl by my side

[Chorus (x2):]
She said "I love you to the moon & back"
& I replied, with a smile, "I love you too, in fact."
I have trust in me & you, baby don't ruin that
So, if I gave you my heart what would you do with that?

[Verse 2:]
What would you do if I gave you my heart?
Would you treat it with care or would you break it apart?
& I know you got your guard up, you're just playing it smart
Cause you dealt with to many niggas just playing apart
I appreciate all the times you were there for me
Every time I stressed out & we talked it's like therapy
You take the pain away with nothing but a sentence
So I'm wishing that this conversation's endless
But if not, let's make it last. Even when it's hard to smile you make me laugh
Every time I fucked up, you had the love to take me back
Look, I know it's crazy but I think you're the one
Got me thinking commitment, even raising a son hah
You know I'm playing wit you girl, don't get excited
I mean any thing's possible just depends on the timing
So tell me when you're ready girl, I'll wait 'til the start
& think about what you would do if I gave you my heart

[Chorus (x2):]
She said "I love you to the moon & back"
& I replied, with a smile, "I love you too, in fact."




I have trust in me & you, baby don't ruin that
So, if I gave you my heart what would you do with that?

LA LETRA EN ESPAÑOL

Esta canción es para una, no para una de las que piensan, pero es para una que sabe que es ella, ella debe pensar que es para una cualquiera, pero es una de tantas que sabe que es ella.

Autenticidad en lo mas profundo de sus palabras, sueña sobre el cielo mientras duerme con los pajaritos,  y cuando se levanta ella es mas hermosa que cualquiera, ella nunca necesita maquillaje. En una noche solitaria hablamos nos mantenemos, 6 horas hablando por teléfono, y lo que me muestra cuando yo miro sus ojos es que nunca estaré solo, ella nunca pone estados en el Facebook o es bruja porque confía en mi y sabe que no sería un atrevido.

Me agarró la mano y me pregunto si hablaba español y yo le dije “si un poquito mi amor”  yo no soy como el promedio, no solamente eres mi novia, eres mi mejor amiga, mi orgullo y alegría y nunca trataría ser menos que eso, juntos iremos al pasado pero no para arruinar nuestro futuro,  que bonita voz es algo que me complace conseguir, me refiero, no soy un hombre que tiene el mejor tipo de chicas al lado, soy ese tipo de chico al que lo mantienen al lado. 

Ella dijo, te amo desde la luna hasta el regreso, yo respondí con una sonrisa, te amo y es un hecho, tengo confianza en ti y en mi bebé  no arruinemos eso, entonces si te doy mi corazón ¿qué vas hacer con él?

¿qué harías si te doy mi corazón?, ¿tratarías de cuidarlos?, ¿lo romperías y lo dejarías aparte? Y yo se que estás en guardia, solo juegas de manera inteligente, porque eres experta como muchos negros que solo juegan sobre seguro, yo aprecio todos los momentos que hemos pasado juntos,  todo el tiempo estoy estresado y hablamos como si tuviera una terapia, dejas mi dolor a un lado sin decirme ni un enunciado, y estoy deseando que esas conversaciones no terminen.

Pero no dejaré que sea la última vez, siempre que es difícil sonreír tu me haces reír, siempre que tengo fastidio, tu haces que el amor me vuelva al cuerpo, mírame yo se que es loco pero pienso que eres la única, pienso que si tuviéramos un compromiso podríamos tener un hijo, sabes que estoy jugando contigo bebé no te emociones, me refiero a puede ser posible, solo depende del tiempo, solo dime cuando estarás lista bebé, esperaré para empezar, y piensa en lo que quisieras hacer si te diera mi corazón.

Ella dijo, te amo desde la luna hasta el regreso, yo respondí con una sonrisa, te amo y es un hecho, tengo confianza en ti y en mi bebé  no arruinemos eso, entonces si te doy mi corazón ¿qué vas hacer con él?

The Official JCR

It's funny because this old Phora looks more like someone who got their shit together. Less about broken feelings and more about telling stories and sharing love.

Supa Dreamy

D. S. C.

Man fr. This typa phora got me outta dark times bumping his shit all the time. Now I’m in a better place happy with myself with some thanks to him, but I see he still stuck

Sienna Nava

i wish he went back to this sound in his music

Supa Dreamy

L that would be dope, but sequels to albums are kinda whack and unoriginal, he should definitely go back to the boom bap beats for another album tho but just name it something else and not make it a sequel

K K

I'm still out here shouting for Still a Kid 2
