"If" lyrics

I mean everybody say, what if?
What if I could fly? What if man could fly for real?
Wouldn't that be somethin'?
Man, I would surely touch the sky if I could just fly
You know we have our dreams
We always say, what if, what if this, what if that
What if you and me were together? What if?
Forever! I mean, eternity for real! What if?

Uh-huh, if, yeah, baby

Listen, if I were a painter, baby, I'd paint a picture of us
Somewhere on a private island makin' love, yeah
Now if I were a pirate, baby, I'd discover, yeah
You for me 'cause girl you are a treasure, yeah
If I was a dream, baby, here's what I'd do
Allow every good dream you dream to come true, yeah
If I were a promise baby, then you could bet, yeah
That every promise made to you girl will be kept, yes, it would
If I was a magician baby, then you'd have no fear
'Cause I'd snap my fingers and make your worries disappear
If I were

If I were all these things then girl to you I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things

Now, if I were a preacher, baby, my sermon would be
About how God opened up Heaven and rained you on me, yeah
If I was a doctor, baby, I surely would
Give you somethin' for your pain that'll make you feel real good
Now, if I were a psychic, baby, then our love would last
'Cause I'd go into the future
And prevent all break ups from comin' to pass
Lord, if I were feeling down, baby, and really goin' through
All friends are gone then I know that I can count on you
One more, if we were at a club, baby, and this jam came on
I'd grab you by the hand and tell you, "Let's step to this song"
If I were

If I were all these things then girl to you I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
Baby, if I could, I'd do those things

If I could blink my eye and be a giant eagle in the sky
Girl, I would swoop down and fly you straight into the sun
Ooh, if I could pick a number out of every number, girl, you'd be
My number one, oh oh, yeah yeah

If I were all these things then girl to you I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things

If I were all these things then girl to you I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things

If I were all these things then girl to you I'd give all these things
Fly you straight to Heaven and step with you while the angels sing
I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could, I'd do those things

Chocolate Factory, y'all
Like I said, we're just down here having fun
You know, drinky drinkin' and toasty toastin'
You know what I'm sayin'
How y'all doin'? Y'all having fun tonight? (yeah!)
It's about 20 ladies down here
They just came down to visit, you know what I'm sayin'
Just to have a little fun
And show some support for the Happy People album, you know
How many of y'all step?
