If I Knew
Unveiling the Depths of True Love: 'If I Knew' by David Allan Coe
Lyrics
If I knew I could count on you
If the speaker knew they could rely on the person addressed
I would love you my whole life through
The speaker expresses a commitment to love throughout their entire life
There is nothing that I would not do
There's nothing the speaker wouldn't do for the reliable person
If I knew I could count on you
Reiteration of the speaker's desire for assurance in the relationship
I've been lonely for a long time
The speaker conveys a prolonged sense of loneliness
I've been looking everywhere
The speaker has been searching extensively for companionship
I need someone to believe in
The speaker desires someone to believe in
I need someone that will care
The speaker needs someone who genuinely cares
And if I see that your love is true
If the speaker is convinced of the sincerity of the addressed person's love
I will gladly put my faith in you
The speaker is willing to invest trust if love is proven true
There is nothing I would rather do
There's nothing else the speaker would rather do than trust in true love
If I see that your love is true
Reiteration of the speaker's willingness to trust in genuine love
I've been searching for a true love
The speaker narrates a quest for authentic love
I've been looking high and low
The speaker has been actively searching for love
I've got all this love inside me
The speaker feels a reservoir of love within but lacks a direction to express it
And it's good, nowhere to go
The speaker emphasizes the presence of unutilized love with nowhere to go
If I knew I could count on you
Reiteration of the speaker's desire for a reliable relationship
I would love you my whole life through
Reaffirmation of the speaker's commitment to love throughout life
There is nothing that I would not do
The speaker is willing to do anything for the reliable person
If I knew I could count on you
Final expression of the speaker's desire for assurance in the relationship
And if I see that your love is true
If the speaker observes genuine love from the addressed person
I will gladly put my faith in you
The speaker is ready to put faith in the addressed person if love is proven
There is nothing I would rather do
The speaker prefers nothing else but to trust in true love
If I see that your love is true
Reiteration of the speaker's willingness to trust in genuine love
If I knew I could count on you
Repetition of the desire for assurance in the relationship
I would love you my whole life through
Reaffirmation of the speaker's commitment to love throughout life
There is nothing that I would not do
The speaker is willing to go to any extent for the reliable person
If I knew I could count on you
Final expression of the speaker's desire for assurance in the relationship
