What If
Baby Face Lyrics

I ran into a friend of yours the other day
I met somebody who knows you

And I asked her how you've been
I inquired about your well-being

She said my girl is fine; just bought a house, got a job, real good man
She mentioned that you're doing well and have made significant progress in life by purchasing a house, getting a job, and finding a good partner.

I told her I was glad for you; that's wonderful
I expressed my happiness towards your success.

But does she ever ask 'bout me?
I wanted to know if you ever inquire about me.

She said she's happy with her life right now
But she is content with her life at the moment.

Let her go, let her be
She urged me to let you go and let you be happy.

And I told myself I would, but something in my heart just would not let you go
I tried to convince myself to move on, but deep inside, I still hold onto the thought of you.

I just want to know
I have this need to find out.

[Chorus] What if we were wrong about each other? What if you were really made for me? What if we was 'sposed to be together? Would that not mean anything? What if that was 'sposed to be my house that you go home to every day? How can you be sure that things are better? If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me Still wanting me
The chorus poses questions about what if things were really meant to be between us and if we underestimated our compatibility, and if things are better without each other, why do I still have this strong feeling that my heart belongs with you?

Your friend asked me if there was someone special in my life that I was seeing
Your friend inquired about the presence of someone special in my life.

I told her there was no one in particular There's just I, myself, and me
I replied that I am single and just focused on myself.

I told her that I dream of you quite often She just cut her eyes at me
I hinted at still having feelings for you by mentioning that I often dream about you, but your friend didn't seem too pleased.

She said you got a home, you're very happy So just stop your meddling
She acknowledged that you have a home and are happy, so I should stop meddling in your life.

I told her that I won't I said things were cool, but I guess I was wrong I still can't move on
I responded that I can't help it and still can't seem to move on from you.

[Chorus] Now that could be my car That could be my house That could be my baby boy that you're nursing That could be the trash that I always take out That could be the chair that I love to chill in That could be my food on the table at the end of the day Hugs and the kisses, all the love we make What the hell do you expect me to say? What if it's really 'sposed to be this way? What if you're really 'sposed to be with me?
The chorus is repeated, but this time, I give specific examples of things that could have been mine and make it obvious that I still crave for you, questioning if this is how it's supposed to be, and wondering if you're meant to be with me.
