If I
Strange Celebrity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could stand and look at you forever
While other lifetimes pass me by
Well it'd be worth the wait
To have one chance to see your face
And catch a glimpse of your smile

And I would run
As I could run

If I could only have you next to me
Then I, I would give you everything you need
And I could make you see
If I were the only one for you
Then I could make all your dreams come true
And I could be the one who sets you free
So let me

And I've been trying to figure out forever
How to make you come around
Seems everything I try won't wake you up
Won't catch your eye
But still I gotta try

As I would run
As I could fly

If I could only have you next to me
Then I, I would give you everything you need
And I could make you see
If I were the only one for you
Then I could make all your dreams come true
And I could be the one who sets you free

Just give me a chance
To show you how it's meant to be
Just one little chance
And I can make you believe

If I could only have you next to me
Then I, I would give you everything you need
And I could make you see
If I were the only one for you
Then I could make all your dreams come true
And I could be the one who sets you free
So be with me

Sets you free
Sets you free
Could be the one




Could be the one
Could be the one who sets you free

@tobiaskoran6787

Letting Nicki ever open her eyes without the Super Bass intro playing in the background would be a sin, fortunately the only sins here are in channel names.

@Earthling1989tv

I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH LIKE THE DIALOGUE SOUNDS LIKE ITS EQUALLY SHARED ESPECIALLY WITH MELANIE AND THE EDITING IS SOO GOOD <3

@AngelXCX943

Nicki Minaj having a major role in this video on her (late) birthday was the best thing in this video. She always makes me laugh every time.
