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
The lyrics to Joe Williams and Harry's song "S'posin'" speak to the potential insecurities and fears one faces when considering confessing their love to another person. The lyrics are full of "s'posins," which are essentially hypothetical questions that the singer is posing to their love interest in order to gauge their potential reaction. The singer wants to know if their love interest would reciprocate their feelings if they were to confess them, or if it would "impress" or "distress" them. The singer is essentially asking if their love would be welcomed or rejected.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is unsure if they should confess their feelings at all. They ask if it would be "speaking out of turn" or if their love interest would even "take [their] love and share it." The use of the word "s'posin'" throughout the song creates a sense of uncertainty and hesitation in the singer's intentions, showing that they are grappling with the decision of whether or not to reveal their true feelings.
