Songtext If R. Kelly

If

I mean everybody says what if
What if I could fly?
What if man could fly, for real?
Wouldn't that be something?
I would surely touch the sky if I could just... fly
Haha
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, ahh-oww
Oh baby
Yeah, listen

If I were a painter baby, I'd paint a picture of us
Somewhere on a private island making love, yeah
Now if I were a pirate baby, I'd discover, yeah
You for me 'cause baby 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 were a magician baby, then you'd have no fear
'Cause I'd snap my fingers and make your worries disappear
If I was...

If I were all these things
Then to you girl to you I'd give you all these things
Fly you straight to heaven
And step with you while the angels sing (if...)
I'd ask you to marry me (ohh)
Give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could I'd do those things (yeah)

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 pass
Lord, if I was 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 was yeah...

If I were all these things
Then to you girl to you I'd give you all these things (fly)
Fly you straight to heaven
And step with you while the angels sing (if I could yeah)
I'd ask you to marry me
Give you the sun for a diamond ring (whoo)
If I could I'd do those things (baby if I could I'd do those things)

Oh, if I could blink my eye and be a giant eagle in the sky (oh, oh, oh, ohh, the rain)
Girl I would swoop down and fly you straight into the sun (the rain)
Ohh, If I could pick a number out of every number girl you'd be (ooh...)
My number one... whoa... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If I were all these things (these things)
Then to you girl to you I'd give you all these things (whoo! I'd fly)
Fly you straight to heaven
And step with you while the angels sing (if I could yeah)
I'd ask you to marry me
Give you the sun for a diamond ring (baby if I could)
If I could I'd do those things (I'd do those things)
If I were all these things (if I could do those things) (yeah)
Then to you girl to you I'd give you all these things (baby then we) (I would do those things, yeah)
Fly you straight to heaven (all of your dreams)
And step with you while the angels sing (would become reality) (if I could I would yeah)
I'd ask you to marry me (if I could do those things) (yeah baby)
Give you the sun for a diamond ring (baby then we) (girl, please believe me if...)
If I could I'd do those things (if I... could do those things yeah)
If I were all these things (if I could do those things) (yeah, yeah)
Then to you girl to you I'd give you all these things (baby then we) (I do whatever it takes)
Fly you straight to heaven (all of your dreams) (yeah, yeah)
And step with you while the angels sing (would become reality) (to put a smile on your face)
I'd ask you to marry me (if I could do those things) (you...)
Give you the sun... (baby then we)

For a diamond ring
If I could I'd do those things (whoo!)
Chocolate factory y'all
Like I say we just down here having fun
Drinky drinkin' and toasty toastin'
You know what I'm saying
How ya'll doing, you having fun tonight? (yeah!)
There's about 20 ladies down here
They just came down to visit

And show some support for the, uh, Happy People album
You know, how many of y'all steppin'?
