What If (album version) Lyrics
I ran into a friend of yours the other day
And I asked her how you've been.
She said, "My girl is fine. Just bought a house,
Got a job, real good man."
I told her, "I was glad for you, that's wonderful."
But does she ever ask about me?
She said, "She's happy with her life right now.
Let her go, let her be."
And I told myself I would,
But something in my heart just would not let you go.
I just want to know.
What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me?
What if we were s' posed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was s' posed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me, (Mmmm)
Still wanting me?
Your friend asked me if there was someone special
That I was seeing in my life.
I said, "There's no one in particular.
There's just I, myself and me."
I told her that I dream of you quite often.
She just cut her eyes at me.
She said, "You've got a home.
You're very happy, so just stop your meddling."
And I told myself I won't.
I said, "things are cool", but I guess I was wrong.
I still can't move on.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.) What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me? (Yeah, yeah.)
What if we were s' posed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was s' posed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure (Yeah) that things are better (Oh)
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me, (Still with me)
Still wanting me? (Still wanting me, oh.)
Now that could be my car.
That could be my house.
That could be my baby boy that you're nursing.
That could be my trash that I always take out.
That could be my chair that I love to chill in.
That could be my food on my table at the end of the day, (Ooh, ooh)
Hugs and kisses, all the love we make.
What the hell do you expect me to say?
What if it really s' posed to be this way? (Yeah.)
What if you're really s' posed to be with me?
What if we were wrong about each other? (Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
What if you were really made for me?
What if we were s' posed to be together? (Oh.)
Would that not mean anything? (Yeah. Yeah, baby.)
What if that was s' posed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better (Yeah.)
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me, (Still here with me, baby,)
Still wanting me? (Still wanting me, baby.)
What if we were wrong about each other? (What if we were wrong? What if we were wrong?)
What if you were really made for me? (Oh baby.)
What if we were s' posed to be together?
Would that not mean anything? (Anything, baby.)
What if that was s' posed to be my house (What if that was s' posed to be?)
That you go home to every day? (Every day, every day, baby.)
How can you be sure that things are better (Oh.)
If you can't be sure your heart (Can't be sure) is still here with me, (Oh baby.)
Still wanting me? (Baby, baby, baby, baby.)
What if we were wrong about each other? (What if we were wrong?)
What if you were really made for me? (Really made for me, baby.)
What if we were s' posed to be together? (Yeah, yeah. Oh, ho.)
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was s' posed to be my house (What if that was s' posed to be?)
That you go home to every day? (Every day)
How can you be sure that things are better (Baby, baby.)
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me, (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Still wanting me? (Still wanting me, baby.)
And I asked her how you've been.
She said, "My girl is fine. Just bought a house,
Got a job, real good man."
I told her, "I was glad for you, that's wonderful."
But does she ever ask about me?
She said, "She's happy with her life right now.
Let her go, let her be."
And I told myself I would,
But something in my heart just would not let you go.
I just want to know.
What if you were really made for me?
What if we were s' posed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was s' posed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me, (Mmmm)
Still wanting me?
That I was seeing in my life.

What if we were s' posed to be together? (Yeah, yeah. Oh, ho.)
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was s' posed to be my house (What if that was s' posed to be?)
That you go home to every day? (Every day)
How can you be sure that things are better (Baby, baby.)
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me, (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Still wanting me? (Still wanting me, baby.)
