Huey Lewis And The News – If This Is It

“If This Is It” – Single by Huey Lewis and the News, from the album Sports, released on July 10, 1984.

The music video for “If This Is It” was filmed in Santa Cruz, California, in June 1984. Huey is seen trying to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend (Janet Cross). He sees her on the beach and at a line of midway amusements with other men, and has a flashback of a romantic night with her. His ex’s friend (Sandra Wilder) observes Huey’s frustrations and feels sorry for him. After one last effort by Huey to win his ex back fails, he sits alone on the beach as the crowd fades. The ex’s friend then appears, smiling at Huey, and they walk away together toward the boardwalk. The video ends with a family, who spent hours looking for an open space on the beach, finally locating one, only to be attacked by a shark underneath the sand that charges toward them.

The band appears in various scenes on the beach, one of which features them singing the chorus while buried in sand with only their heads visible. Comedian John Means appears as the Ball Toss Manager.

I’ve been phoning night and morning
I heard you say, “Tell him, I’m not home”
Now you’re confessing but I’m still guessing
I’ve been your fool for so so long

Girl, don’t lie, just to save my feelings
Girl, don’t cry and tell me nothing’s wrong
Girl, don’t try to make up phony reasons
I’d rather leave than never believe

If this is it, please let me know
If this ain’t love you’d better let me know
If this is it, I want to know
If this ain’t love baby, just say so

You’ve been thinking and I’ve been drinking
We both know that it’s just not right
Now you’re pretending that it’s not ending
You’ll say anything to avoid a fight

Girl, don’t lie and tell me that you need me
Girl, don’t cry and tell me nothing’s wrong
I’ll be alright one way or another
So let me go or make me want to stay

If this is it, please let me know
If this ain’t love you’d better let me know
If this is it, I want to know
If this ain’t love baby, just say so

If this is it, please let me know
If this ain’t love you’d better let me know
If this is it, I want to know
If this ain’t love baby, just say so

If this is it, please let me know
If this is it, please let me know
If this is it, please let me know
If this is it, please let me know
If this is it, please let me know
If this is it, please let me know

Songwriters: Huey Lewis / John Victor Colla
