Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I mean everybody say, what if?
What if I could fly?what if man could fly for real?
Wouldn't that be something?
Man, I would surely touch the sky if I could just fly
You know, we have our dreams, we always say what if
What if this, what if that?
What if you and me were together? What if?
Forever, I mean, eternity for real
What if
[Verse 2]
Uh-huh if
Yeah
Uh whoa, whoa, uh
Oh, baby
Yeah
Listen
[Verse 3]
If I were a painter, baby, I'd paint a picture of us
Somewhere on a private island makin' love, yeah
Now if I were a pirate, baby, I'd discover, yeah
You for me 'cause, girl, you are a treasure, yeah
If I was a dream, baby, here's what I'd do
Allow every good dream you dream to come true, yeah
If I were a promise, baby, then you could bet, yeah
That every promise made to you, girl, will be kept, yes, it would
If I was a magician, baby, then you'd have no fear
'Cause I'd snap my fingers and make your worries disappear
If I were
[Verse 4]
If I were all these things then, girl, to you, I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things
[Verse 5]
Now if I were a preacher, baby, my sermon would be
About how God opened up Heaven and rained you on me, yeah
If I was a doctor, baby, I surely would
Give you something for your pain that'll make you feel real good
Now, if I were a psychic, baby, then our love would last
Cause I'd go into the future and prevent all break ups from comin' to pass
Lord, if I was feeling down, baby, and really goin' through
All friends are gone then I know that I can count on you
One more, if we were at a club, baby, and this jam came on
I'd grab you by the hand and tell you, let's step to this song
If I were
[Verse 6]
If I were all these things then, girl, to you, I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
Baby, if I could, I'd do those things
[Verse 7]
Uh, if I could blink my eye and be a giant eagle in the sky
Girl, I would swoop down and fly you straight into the sun
Ooh, if I could pick a number out of every number, girl, you'd be
My number one, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
If I were all these things then, girl, to you, I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things
[Verse 9]
If I were all these things then, girl, to you, I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things
[Verse 10]
If I were all these things then, girl, to you, I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things
[Verse 11]
Chocolate Factory, y'all
Like I said, we're just down here having fun, you know
Drinkin', drinkin', and toasty toastin', you know what I'm sayin'?
How y'all doin'? Y'all having fun tonight? (Yeah)
It's about twenty ladies down here they just came
Down to visit, you know what I'm sayin' just to have a little fun
And show some support for the uh, Happy People album
You know
