The what ifs lyrics

Artist  : Jaguar wright 
Song : The what ifs
 
See, I got all the right questions; you got all
the wrong answers. 
And I got all of the sadness and you end up with
all the laughter. 
I think of the rules and I treat you right 
but you get the last laugh every time. 
Now tell me baby do that sound right? 
 
 
Can’t blame it on love ‘cause common sense, it
plays its part. 
Can’t blame it on you ‘cause on you, ‘cause you
don’t rule my heart. 
Can’t blame it on her, she can’t be that smart 
‘Cause messing with you, she gon’ get a broken
heart. 
So what if?  What if?  What if? 
 
 
See every time I try to leave, you think of new
reasons of why I should stay. 
Every time I say, “no,” I can’t believe you still
get mad ‘cause I won’t give you your way. 
And it don’t hurt no more, when I see you with
that other bitch. 
Lately you cry and I don’t know why  
And I can’t understand this shit! 
 
 
Can’t blame it on love ‘cause common sense, it
plays its part. 
Can’t blame it on you ‘cause on you, ‘cause you
don’t rule my heart. 
Can’t blame it on her, she can’t be that smart 
‘Cause messing with you, she gon’ get a broken
heart. 
What if?  What if?  What if? 
 
 
What if things could change? 
And what if you weren’t estranged; 
Telling me no more, 
‘Cause what I know of you is you walking out the
front door. 
What if things were different? 
What if you paid your share of the rent? 
What if you was the nigger that I fell in love
with? 
What if?  What if? What if? 
[Repeat 1x] 
 
 
Waiting on the day that I can look at you and
know what I see. 
Waiting on the day when I can figure out why you
fucks with me. 
I’m waiting on the damn day when I can force
myself to leave. 
And I’m waiting on the day that I don’t have to
ask, “why?” 
[Instrumental/Scat Break] 
 
 
What if things could change? 
And what if you weren’t estranged; 
Telling me no more, 
‘Cause what I know of you is you walking out the
front door. 
What if things were different? 
What if you paid your share of the rent? 
What if you was the nigger that I fell in love
with? 
What if?  What if? What if?
