"If This Is It" is a song by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News. It was released as the fourth single from their number-one album Sports in 1984, and became their fifth top-ten and third consecutive number-six hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number five on the Adult Contemporary chart and then became their first UK hit single, reaching number 39 on the UK Singles Chart. 2๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

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 an amusement park 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. 3๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

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 and finally locates one, only to be attacked by a shark underneath the sand that charges toward them. 4๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

The band appears in various scenes on the beach, one of which features them singing the chorus while buried in the sand with only their heads visible. In an interview with the blog Noblemania, Cross recalled the challenges of playing Lewis's irritable ex-girlfriend. "Looking angry at Huey Lewis was tough," she said. "The whole filming was hilarious, one stunt after another and all the different boyfriends they gave me. 5๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

When [Huey and I] were pretending to fight it was hard not to laugh." The video was directed by Edd Griles, who had previously directed the band's videos for "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "Stuck With You", as well as Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time". 6๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

If This Is It
Song by Huey Lewis 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 8๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ
