Yeah

Tell me baby in the night do you think of me
When you open up your eyes am I there
Are you standing by my window when I'm asleep
Are you quiet when you know that I'm near

You know I love you, you thought I would leave you
But baby I got you still
You think you want to be by yourself, don't you
But baby you never will

If this is love
Then I don't wanna know what is, I won't say another word
If this is love
Then I'm about to hit and miss, we're both going to get hurt
If this is love

If this is love, yeah yeah

Are you picturing me lying across your bed
Are you thinking you were wrong to hurt me
I forgive you, I'll forget everything you said
You will love and you will not desert me

You think you're crazy, I'm not I'm your baby
I promise I'll always be
You think eventually this too will pass
But I promise I'll never leave

If this is love
Then I don't wanna know what is, I won't say another word
If this is love
Then I'm about to hit and miss, we're both going to get hurt
If this is love

If this is love, if this is love

Baby, baby if this is love
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Baby, baby if this is love
I will not accept it, I will not

If this is love
Then I don't wanna know what is, I won't say another word
If this is love
Then I'm about to hit and miss, we're both going to get hurt
If this is love

If this is love
Then I don't wanna know what is, I won't say another word
If this is love
Then I'm about to hit and miss, we're both going to get hurt
If this is love

If this is love, if this is love





Yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "If This Is Love" by The Saturdays is a love ballad about a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. In the first verse, the singer asks if her partner thinks of her at night and wonders if he is by her window when she's asleep. She reassures him that even though he thought she would leave him, she's still there with him. However, she recognizes that her partner may want to be alone, but she promises never to leave him.


In the chorus, the singer questions if their relationship is really love, as it seems to be causing more hurt than happiness. She declares that she'd rather not know what love is if this is what it feels like. Despite the uncertainty of their situation, she confesses that she'll always be there for her partner, even if they both end up hurt.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is committed to her relationship, but is uncertain if it's worth it. She wants to hold onto the love she has, but she's also aware of the potential for pain.


Line by Line Meaning

Tell me baby in the night do you think of me
As you lie in bed at night, do I cross your mind?


When you open up your eyes am I there
Do you wish to see me by your side as you wake up?


Are you standing by my window when I'm asleep
Do you watch me as I sleep, longing to be with me?


Are you quiet when you know that I'm near
Do you stay quiet when you know I am near, feeling content in my presence?


You know I love you, you thought I would leave you
I love you and I'll always be there, even when you thought I would abandon you.


But baby I got you still
But don't worry, I'm still here for you.


You think you want to be by yourself, don't you
I sense that you feel like you should be alone.


But baby you never will
But you will never be alone as long as I am by your side.


If this is love
If this is what love is like,


Then I don't wanna know what is, I won't say another word
I don't want to experience anything other than this feeling of love and I won't say anything else.


Then I'm about to hit and miss, we're both going to get hurt
I fear that this love may not last and we may both end up getting hurt.


Are you picturing me lying across your bed
Do you imagine me lying by your side as you stare at your bed?


Are you thinking you were wrong to hurt me
Do you regret hurting me and wish you could take it back?


I forgive you, I'll forget everything you said
I forgive you for what you did and I will forget all the hurtful things you said.


You will love and you will not desert me
I believe that you will love me and never abandon me.


You think you're crazy, I'm not I'm your baby
You may be feeling overwhelmed, but I will always be here for you, my love.


I promise I'll always be
I promise to always be here for you, no matter what.


You think eventually this too will pass
You may feel that our love will fade over time.


But I promise I'll never leave
But I promise to never leave you, my love will always remain.


Baby, baby if this is love
My dear, if this feeling we share is indeed love,


I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know how I will react or what I will do.


I will not accept it, I will not
I will not accept anything less than true love, I will not settle.

What, did this song not get any promotion or what? Only 3/4 million hits. Great beat, great use of a classic sample. Nice harmonies. I like pop music alot and can't believe I missed this one the first time around. Of course its hard enough finding this when I live in the US.

Love them so much!!
