The What If's Lyrics

See, I got all the right questions
And you've got all the wrong answers
And I got all of the sadness
And you end up with all the laughter

I play by the rules and I treat you right
But you get the last laugh every time
Now, tell me baby do that sound right?
Sound right, sound right

I cant blame it on love, no
Cause common sense, it plays its part
I cant blame it on you, no
Cause you dont rule my heart

Cant blame it on her, yeah
She cant be that smart
Messin' with you
She gon 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
And every time I tell you, No
I cant believe you still get mad
Cause I wont give you your way

And it dont hurt no more
When I see you with that other bitch
Lately you cry and I dont know why
And I cant understand this shit

I cant blame it on love, no
Cause common sense, it plays its part
I cant blame it on you, no
Cause you dont rule my heart

Cant blame it on her, yeah
She cant be that smart
Messin' with you
She gon get a broken heart
So what if? What if? What if?

What if things could change?
And what if you werent estranged
Tellin' me no more
Cause what I know of you
Is you're walkin' out the front door

And what if things were different?
And what if you paid your share of the rent?
And what if you was the nigger
That I fell in love with
What if? What if? What if?

What if things could change?
And what if you werent estranged
Tellin' me no more
Cause what I know of you
Is you're walkin' out the front door

And what if things were different?
And what if you paid your share of the rent?
And what if you was the nigger
That I fell in love with

Waitin' on the day
When I can look at you and know what I see
Waitin' on the day
When I can figure out why you fucks with me

Im waitin' on the damn day
When I can force myself to leave
And Im waitin' on the day
When I dont have to ask, Why?

What if things could change?
And what if you werent estranged
Tellin' me no more
Cause what I know of you
Is you're walkin' out the front door

And what if things were different?
And what if you paid your share of the rent?
And what if you was the nigger
That I fell in love with
