Lyrics
Verse 1:
Thinking 'bout the yesterdays
Like I'm chasing my tail
If I'd chosen different ways
Would I have another tale to tell
Maybe I could turn back time
Maybe I could change
I'm saying What if... repeat
Verse 2:
Thinking how I had behaved
How I was such a bore
I was distant and controlling
When I could have given so much more
If I said I'm sorry
Would I still be here now
Just saying What if
Chorus:
I'm thinking bout you
Wondering what if there was something I could do
This broken Romance
What if we could find a second chance
But What if doesn't count
In horse-shoes or checkers
Especially in this game called life
Oh mostly especially in this game called life
Verse 3:
Thought about the one word
It was a word we couldn't say
Forever is a hard one
And often winds up in the way
Oh it doesn't seem so scary
And here I 'm left again with
Just saying What if....I'm saying what if
Verse 4:
My life is unpredictable
I don't really have a plan
maybe I should be alone
And that's right where I am
I'm talking to myself
Saying the same old, same old things
I'm saying What if........oh I'm saying what if
Chorus:
I'm thinking bout you
Wondering what if there was something I could do
This broken Romance
What if we could find a second chance
But What if doesn't count
In horse-shoes or checkers
Especially in this game called life
Most Especially in this game called life
Bridge:
Hind sight may be 20 20
But it won't do you no good
Maybe next time around I'll remember
I haven't yet, I'm hoping someday I could
Chorus:
I'm thinking bout you
Wondering what if there was something I could do
This broken Romance
What if we could find a second chance
But What if doesn't count
In horse-shoes or checkers
Especially in this game called life
Oh mostly especially in this game called life
