If This Is Love
TheSaturdays Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

"If This Is Love" by The Saturdays talks about the doubts and insecurities that come with falling in love. The lyrics present a conversation between two lovers who are uncertain about the strength and authenticity of their relationship. The first verse asks the lover if they think about the other person at night and wonder if they are there with them. The second verse deals with forgiveness and reassurance as the lover forgives the other person for hurting them, promising to love and never leave them.


The chorus repeats the same message, expressing doubts and uncertainties about whether their love is true or not. The lyrics reflect the fear of getting hurt and the uncertainty that comes with something as unpredictable as love. The song deals with these heavy themes while still maintaining an upbeat dance-pop sound that helped make The Saturdays a successful band.

i love this song! it's the one song that actually actually better than girl's aloud. now if they'd just add more sound effects!

spazzman90

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!!
