The What Ifs
See, I got all the right questions; you got all the wrong answers.
And I got all of the sadness and you end up with all the laughter.
I think of the rules and I treat you right
but you get the last laugh every time.
Now tell me baby do that sound right?
Canât blame it on love âcause common sense, it plays its part.
Canât blame it on you âcause on you, âcause you donât rule my heart.
Canât blame it on her, she canât be that smart
âCause messing with you, she gonâ get a broken heart.
So what if? What if? What if?
See every time I try to leave, you think of new reasons of why I should stay.
Every time I say, âno,â I canât believe you still get mad âcause I wonât give you your way.
And it donât hurt no more, when I see you with that other bitch.
Lately you cry and I donât know why
And I canât understand this shit!
Canât blame it on love âcause common sense, it plays its part.
Canât blame it on you âcause on you, âcause you donât rule my heart.
Canât blame it on her, she canât be that smart
âCause messing with you, she gonâ get a broken heart.
What if? What if? What if?
What if things could change?
And what if you werenât estranged;
Telling me no more,
âCause what I know of you is you walking out the front door.
What if things were different?
What if you paid your share of the rent?
What if you was the nigger that I fell in love with?
What if? What if? What if?
[Repeat 1x]
Waiting on the day that I can look at you and know what I see.
Waiting on the day when I can figure out why you fucks with me.
Iâm waiting on the damn day when I can force myself to leave.
And Iâm waiting on the day that I donât have to ask, âwhy?â
[Instrumental/Scat Break]
What if things could change?
And what if you werenât estranged;
Telling me no more,
âCause what I know of you is you walking out the front door.
What if things were different?
What if you paid your share of the rent?
What if you was the nigger that I fell in love with?
What if? What if? What if?
