I'd Say You
Love's Palette: Painting the Essence of Devotion in Reba McEntire's 'I'd Say You'
Lyrics
If I had to say what love feels like
If asked to express the sensation of love
I'd say you
The embodiment of love is represented by you
If I had to say what love tastes like
If required to define the flavor of love
I'd say you
You symbolize the taste of love
If I had to show what love looks like
If tasked with illustrating the appearance of love
That's an easy thing to do
Depicting love visually is simple – it's represented by you
I'd pick your favorite colors
Selecting your preferred colors and painting you
And honey I'd paint you
Expresses the act of creating a representation of love
If someone asked what heaven is
In response to inquiries about heaven
I'd say you
You are equated to the concept of heaven
If I describe what pleasure is
If tasked with describing pleasure
I'd say you
You are the embodiment of pleasure
If I had to show what a dream looks like
Illustrating the appearance of a dream
That's an easy thing to do
You are easily the representation of a dream
I'd pick your favorite colors
Choosing your favorite colors and painting a dream representation
And honey I'd paint you
Symbolizing the act of creating a dream representation
In Webster's book
Referencing Webster's dictionary
I'd even add a word or two
Addition of words under "perfect lover"
Under perfect lover
The added words would include "see you"
I'd put see you
Associating the concept of a perfect lover with seeing you
If I had to show my biggest thrill
If asked to reveal the greatest excitement
That's an easy thing to do
You are the source of the greatest thrill
I'd pick your favorite colors
Choosing your favorite colors and painting the thrill
And honey I'd paint you
Symbolizing the act of creating a representation of the thrill
I'd say you
Reiterating that you are the embodiment of love
I'd say you
Emphasizing again that you are the embodiment of love
If I had to show what love looks like
If tasked with illustrating the appearance of love (repeated)
That's an easy thing to do
Depicting love visually is simple – it's represented by you (repeated)
I'd pick your favorite colors
Choosing your favorite colors and painting a representation of love (repeated)
And honey I'd paint you
Symbolizing the act of creating a representation of love (repeated)
