Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If I could change the way I live my life today

I wouldn't change a single thing

'Cause if I changed my world into another place

I wouldn't see your smiling face

I'll always be there

And I'll always care

...

Honey don't you worry, there's nothing to worry for

'Cause if I didn't love you, I wouldn't be here now

And if I didn't want you, I would have turned around by now

You've got to believe me, babe, believe that I love you so

'Cause if I didn't love you, I would have turned around

And if I didn't want you, then I would want you out, ooh

This love, this love has filled me up

Ooh, my love, I'll never give you up

'Cause I'll always want your love

If I could change the way I live my life today

I wouldn't change a single thing

'Cause if I changed my world into another place

I wouldn't see your smiling face

Believing is the answer, the answer to all your fears

When I first said I loved you, I went in for the kill

Now when I say I love you, I mean I always will

This love, this love has filled me up

Ooh, my love, I'll never give you up

'Cause I'll always want your love

If I could change the way I live my life today

I wouldn't change a single thing

...

This love, this love has filled me up

My love, I'll never give you up

'Cause I'll always want your love

If I could change the way I live my life today

I wouldn't change a single thing

'Cause if I change my world into another place

I wouldn't see your smiling face

Ooh, If I could change the way I live my life today

I wouldn't change a single thing

'Cause if I change my world into another place

I wouldn't see your smiling face

You, only you can do, my love

My sweet, my very, ooh

'Cause if I change

...

Key Grammar Structures

If I could change the way I live my life today, I wouldn't change a single thing

➔ Second Conditional

➔ Uses "If + past simple, would + infinitive" to express a hypothetical situation in the present or future. "If I could change" (past simple) expresses the hypothetical condition, and "I wouldn't change" (would + infinitive) expresses the hypothetical result.
'Cause if I changed my world into another place, I wouldn't see your smiling face

➔ Second Conditional

➔ Another example of the second conditional. "If I changed" (past simple) sets up the hypothetical situation, and "I wouldn't see" (would + infinitive) describes the consequence.
Honey don't you worry, there's nothing to worry for

➔ Imperative and Preposition at the end of a clause

➔ "Don't you worry" is an imperative used to reassure someone. The phrase "nothing to worry for" is an example of a preposition ("for") placed at the end of a clause, which is common in informal English.
'Cause if I didn't love you, I wouldn't be here now

➔ Mixed Conditional (Type 3/2)

➔ This is a mixed conditional. The "if" clause refers to a past unreal condition ("if I didn't love you" - implying I do love you), and the main clause refers to a present result ("I wouldn't be here now").
When I first said I loved you, I went in for the kill

➔ Idiomatic Expression

➔ "Went in for the kill" is an idiom meaning to pursue something aggressively or decisively. It doesn't literally mean killing someone; it's a metaphor for pursuing a goal with great intensity.
Now when I say I love you, I mean I always will

➔ Emphasis with Auxiliary Verb

➔ The use of "do/does/did" before the main verb emphasizes the truth of the statement. Here, "I mean I always will" could be "I always will", but adding "I do mean" adds emphasis.
