"What If?" lyrics
"What If?"
Oh, you say I'm a burnt out shipwreck
Floating in a sea of mediocrity
You say I'm not bad, just dull, just middling
You don't hate, you're just beating me
What if you were wrong about me all along?
What if you just think you know what's going on?
What if you're a fat man in a thong?
Well, what if I'm cool and you're deluded?
What if I'm hip and you're excluded?
What if I'm fabulous, fantabulous
And you're wrong and you're wrong and you're wrong?
And you're wrong and you're wrong and you're wrong? (Hey)
Oh, you say that you rarely get me
But you add there's not much there to get
You say that my inspiration's one percent
And ninety-nine percent is sweat
What if you were wrong about me all along?
What if you just think you know what's going on?
What if you're a fat man in a thong?
Well, what if I'm cool and you're deluded?
What if I'm hip and you're excluded?
What if I'm fabulous, fantabulous
And you're wrong and you're wrong and you're wrong?
And you're wrong and you're wrong and you're wrong? (Ha ha ha ha ha)
Perfect taste is such a burden
How you suffer to teach us all
And somebody's gonna get wounded
But you're still out to make the judgement call
Well, what if you were wrong about me all along?
What if you just think you know what's going on?
What if you're a fat man in a thong?
Well, what if I'm cool and you're deluded?
What if I'm hip and you're excluded?
What if I'm fabulous, fantabulous
And you're wrong and you're wrong and you're wrong?
Well, what if I'm cool and you're deluded?
What if I'm hip and you're excluded?
What if I'm fabulous, fantabulous
And you're wrong and you're wrong and you're wrong?
And you're wrong and you're wrong and you're wrong? (Ha ha ha ha ha)
