(What if) what if I never slept around, never cheated on you girl (What if) what if didn't break your heart and never ever ruined you world (What if) what if I always was a real man, face to face to face told you the truth? (What if) what If I never ever took when you said you wanted to go out and hang with your crew? (What if) what if I was a different man? (What if) what if I wasn't so selfish and took one second just to listen to you (What if) what if I was alone? On my own (What if) what if I wasn't so damn controlling, you would still be right here [Chorus] We would still be together, be together, be together right now [3x] We would still be together, we would still be together girl (What if) what if I didn't have lame excuses for all the stuff that I do? (What if) what if I had no baby mommas, no damn drama and I never were around you (What if) what if never called out your name and treated you like you were my queen (What if) what if I woke up from this madness and this shit was just a dream (What if) what if I really went to work and spent a whole day creeping? (What if) what if you were at the beauty shop and you didn't here about me last week? (What if) what if you ever asked me a question and I didn't stut-stut-stutter all of the time? (What if) what if I wasn't so damn controlling, you would still [Chorus] (What if) what if I never said I do when I do that I wasn't ready for you (What if) what if I gave a damn to my church and did to get off in the VIP [Chorus] We would still be together girl
