If I Fell
The Pozo Seco Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you promise to be true
And help me
Understand
'Cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just
Holding hands
If I give my heart
To you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you
Would love me more than her
If I trust in you
Oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too
Oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I
Would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see
That I
Would love to love you
And that she
Will cry
When she learns we are two
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I
Would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see
That I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you
"If I Fell" is a song by The Beatles, and The Pozo Seco Singers covered it later, adding harmonies and a more Western feel to the song. The lyrics speak of a man who has been hurt before and is hesitant to fall in love again. He's asking his potential partner if he can trust her and if she would be faithful to him. He's been in love before, but he now understands that it's more than just holding hands. So, if he falls in love with her, he wants to make sure that it's worth it and that she won't hurt him like the last person did.
The song shows the uncertainty and hesitation that comes with falling in love again. The man is afraid of being hurt again, and he's cautious about letting his heart be vulnerable again. The lyrics convey the importance of trust and the potential pain that can come with love.
