If I Do
Secret Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk the streets where I don't belong
Go places I've never seen
Analyze myself what's right and what's wrong
If I do, if I do, aha

I pay attention to how I'm dressed
You may be thinking I'm vain
Spending hours trying to look my best
If I do, if I do, aha

If I tell you you're the one I'm waiting for
If I tell you you're the one I will adore
Like an angel sent me from above
If I do, if I do, I'm in love

You never see me afraid to fail
What if I stumble and fall
I write letters that I won't dare to mail
If I do, if I do, aha

If I look tired from sleepless nights
I spend the days by the phone




You can read the signs I'm losing my mind
If I do, if I do, aha

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Secret Service's song "If I Do," the singer reflects on their own actions, thoughts, and emotions as they navigate through life. The opening lines describe a sense of displacement and exploration, as the singer walks streets where they feel out of place and visits new locations, symbolizing a journey into the unknown. This could be seen as a metaphor for personal growth and self-discovery, as the singer contemplates what is right and wrong in their own life.


The next set of lyrics delve into the theme of self-image and external validation. The singer acknowledges the perception that they may seem vain for caring about their appearance and putting effort into looking their best. This could hint at a struggle with self-esteem and the desire for acceptance from others. The repeated phrase "If I do, if I do, aha" could highlight the internal conflict between wanting to please others while also staying true to oneself.


The chorus shifts to a more vulnerable and intimate tone as the singer expresses romantic feelings towards someone special. By declaring that this person is the one they are waiting for and will adore, the singer compares them to an angel sent from above, emphasizing a deep and meaningful connection. The repetition of "If I do, if I do, I'm in love" underscores the importance of taking that emotional leap and expressing one's true feelings.


The final verse touches on themes of fear, loneliness, and mental strain. The singer admits to experiencing sleepless nights and moments of doubt, yet they also show resilience in facing their fears head-on. The act of writing letters without sending them could symbolize unspoken thoughts and unexpressed emotions. The line "I'm losing my mind, if I do, if I do, aha" suggests a struggle with maintaining composure and mental stability in the face of overwhelming emotions. Overall, the lyrics of "If I Do" by Secret Service explore themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, love, and inner turmoil, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences and emotions in a relatable and introspective way.

ein wunderbarer Titel der Schweden. So herrlich gefühlvoll und harmonisch. Neben "Different" der beste Song auf der CD "The Lost Box", wie ich finde, wenngleich auch die anderen Titel alle sehr hörenswert sind. Bravo Secret Service! Secret Service forever!!!
