Babe, every since we've been together it's been great.
And I can really see myself with you forever.
I said hey, I'm pretty much OK.
Hey, there's a few little things

So if you love me like you say you do
(Then you really hear me)
Oh

Now for the past 3 weeks you've been dipping, slipping, running round.
Through the city.
Through the town.
Wait, what you doing?
If you wanna be with me
(Act like you)
Be with me.
What I look like waiting round?
(Stop, let me tell you boy)
Hey, I'm digging your ambition.
Like that you're on a mission.
Then I wouldn't be trippin'.
But hey, you know that love gets tested.
And I expect for you to treat me to bed.
If you love me like you say you do

The lyrics in George Michael's "As If" song featuring Mary J. Blige depict a relationship that is going through some rough patches. The two individuals in the relationship have a difference in opinion leading to misunderstandings. The first verse of the song highlights that the other party believes the singer is arrogant, full of procrastination and generally uncooperative. However, the singer argues that they are simply fed up and trying to keep their head up. In the second verse, the singer responds to the accusations of the other party that they are "full of it" and "arrogant," suggesting that they can't judge each other based on their flaws. All they need to do is focus on the relationship.
The chorus is an open admission from both parties that if they believe they can't be together or if they're better off apart, they'll let go. They stand determined to give it a try before saying goodbye, and if one person leaves, the other person will leave too. The bridge of the song portrays a desperate plea by the singer to work through their problems together, reach a common understanding, and forge a better future for their relationship.
