S'posin'
Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think that you could love me too?
S'posin' I should hold you and caress you
Would it impress you or, perhaps, distress you?
S'posin' I should say "For you I yearn"
Would ya think I'm speaking out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
S'posin' I should say "For you I yearn"
Would ya think that I'm speakin' out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posin' 'cause I'm in love with you
