What If
5. Jason Derulo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if?
What if I'm the one for you?
And you're the one for me?
What if

If you are the one
Then us meeting here is fate
Future with a dog named Red
Buy a house with a fireplace
This is the first I've seen your face
But there a chance we are soul mates
I know that this might sound crazy
'Cause you don't know my name

But we can't
We can't tell
The future no
But that's just the beauty of the world we know
So I'ma say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if
We all can say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if

What if (what if)
What if (what if)
What if (what if)
What if (what if)
What if (what if)

Picture me on one knee
With the perfect diamond ring
We just met, but if you said 'yes'
We'd have our wedding on the beach
It could happen, raise three kids
And we grow older so happily.
I know this may sound crazy,
Cause I don't even know your name

But we can't
We can't tell
The future no
But that's just the beauty of the world we know
So I'ma say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if
We could all say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if

Don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm still hoping
That you are the one for me
Oh and what if I had you and what if you had me and
Baby, whats the reason we can't fall in love?
What if (what if)
What if (what if)
What if (what if)

But we can't
We can't tell
The future no
But that's just the beauty of the world we know
So I'ma say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if
We could all say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if

But we can't
We can't tell
The future no
But that's just the beauty of the world we know
So I'ma say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if




We can all say duuuduuu duuuduuu duuudu duuudu
Baby, what if
