If Lyrics by R. Kelly

I mean everybody say "What if." What if I could fly? What if man could fly for real? Wouldn't that be something? Man I
Would surely touch the sky if I could just fly. [laughs] 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?

Ooh hoo if: yeah: Ooh: aww baby: yeah: listen

If I were a painter baby, I'd paint a picture of us. Some where on a private island making 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:

[Chorus:]
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
[1 x]

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 something 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 coming
To past - Lord

If I were feeling down baby and really going 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:

[Chorus:]
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
[1 x]

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 1. Ooh, ooh:yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
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
[3 x]
