(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?
