If You Had My Love

About If You Had My Love

"If You Had My Love" is the debut single by American actress and singer Jennifer Lopez. It was released on June 13, 1999 as the lead single from her debut album On the 6 (1999). The song was written by LaShawn Daniels, Cory Rooney, and its producer Rodney Jerkins. Michael Jackson had also showed interest in recording it, but he felt that it was better suited for a female singer. "If You Had My Love" is a midtempo pop and R&B song that also features Latin and hip hop influences. Its lyrics revolve around the beginning of a new relationship, during which Lopez confronts her admirer with a number of ground rules. Critics reacted positively to "If You Had My Love", praising its "silky groove" and "edgy" production. Upon its release, it generated instant attention and became a commercial success, peaking at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. It became one of the best-selling singles of 1999, selling over 1.2 million units in the US alone. It was also an international success, topping the charts in Australia, Canada, Finland, Greece, Hungary and New Zealand. Its success came as a surprise to critics, making Lopez one of few actors to successfully crossover into the music industry. It also contributed to the growing popularity of Latin artists in Northern America. In retrospect, "If You Had My Love" has been described as an "R&B classic", and it is considered one of Lopez's best songs. more »

Now if I give you me 
This is how its got to be 
First of all I won't take you cheating on me 
Baby who can I trust if I can't trust in you 
And I refuse to let you play me like a fool

You said that we could possibly spend eternity 
(See that's what you told me that's what you said)
But if you want me 
You have to be fulfilling all my dreams 
If you really want me baby

[Chorus: x 2]
If you had my love and I gave you all my trust 
Would you comfort me
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue
Would you lie to me 
And call me your baby

You said you want my love and you've got to have it all
But first there are some things you need to know 
If you want to live with all I have to give 
I need to feel true love or its got to end, yeah

I don't want you tryin' to get with me 
And I end up unhappy
( I don't need the hurt and I don't need the pain)
So before I do, give myself to you 
I have to know the truth 
If I spend my life with you

[Chorus: x 2]

See mon and just dance a little 
Let me see you dance a little 
I like it when you dance a little
Baby work it out just dance a little

See mon and just dance a little 
Let me see you dance a little
I like it when you dance a little 
Dark child, Jennifer Lopez, see mon

[Chorus: until fade]
