What If
Jason Derülo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
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
The lyrics of Jason Derülo's song "What If" are about the possibility of love between two people who haven't even met yet. The song's title "What If" speaks to the uncertainty and possibilities of love. The song presents a scenario in which two people who are perfect for each other come across one another by fate. Even though they do not know each other's name, the singer imagines a life full of happiness, love, and companionship. The chorus repeats the idea of "what if" throughout the song, as the singer explores the many different scenarios that could potentially come to fruition if he were to meet the one for him.
In the first verse, the singer explains that if they are meant to be with each other, then their meeting is fate. He envisions a future with the two of them living together in a house with a fireplace, raising a dog named Red. Even though this might sound irrational as the singer acknowledges, the possibility of finding one's soulmate is something that people dream of.
The second verse dives further into the lyrics, with the singer visualizing getting down on one knee and proposing to the woman he hasn't met yet. He pictures their wedding on a beach and the possibility of raising a family together. Throughout the song, the idea of "what if" provides a sense of wonder and possibility, as if anything could happen if true love were to come their way.

Looking towards a happy future together
Oh and what if I had you and what if you had me and
Baby, whats the reason we can't fall in love?
Questioning why they can't fall in love if they are perfect for each other
Don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm still hoping
That you are the one for me
Admitting that the future is unknown, but still hoping for a future with their perfect match

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 (uh)
Future with a dog named Red
Buy a house with a fireplace
This is the first I've seen your face
But there's a chance we are soulmates
I know 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 doo, doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

Picture me on one knee
With the perfect diamond ring (perfect diamond ring)
We just met, but if you said "Yes"
We'd have our wedding on the beach (oh, oh, oh)
It could happen, raise three kids
And we grow old, oh, so happily
I know this might sound crazy
'Cause I don't 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 doo, doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
