What is If I Had You about?

🎶 If I Had You song analysis

The song tells how the protagonist thinks he could do extraordinary things if he was accompanied by his partner. He could sing beautifully, fly like a bird, and even become a great poet or boxer. He would love her and show it by tattooing her name on his chest, and she would be his hero like Lois Lane is to Superman. He hopes they can dance together forever and never be apart.
