What If Songtext
von Dweezil Zappa

Sure, this girl is trouble
I knew it when I met her
I told myself to walk away
Because I knew better
It′s not that she's bad
It′s not that we're so different
It must be something chemical
That makes me feel the way
That I'm feelin′ now

In some ways she couldn′t be
More my type
In other ways, she's wrong for me
But I pretend she′s right

The moment she surprised me
With her thoughtfulness
Was the moment that she owned me
This I must confess
This I must confess


Whatever doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
Than you were before
When you least expect to fall
You fall even more

Moving right along now
Feelings growing stronger
If we′re going to be together
Why wait any longer?

I feel her hesitate
There's something she′s been hiding
This romance we've been building
Suffers from bad timing
It's very hard to take

It′s very disappointing
I was starting to feel good
I asked her to be honest
I knew that she would
She said she′s only human
And what she feels for me is real
She needs some time to be alone
She needs some time to heal
But I can barely deal

I said


Whatever doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
Than you were before
When you least expect to fall
You fall even more
It′s easier to break up
And go back and take a look
It feels worse to wonder
About the chance you never took

It's hard for the both of us
We don′t wanna be apart
But the timing isn't right for now
And that breaks my heart
I know we′ve done the right thing
But it's hard as hell to stay
Away from each other
When all I want to do
Is look at her face

Whatever doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
Than you were before
When you least expect to fall
You fall even more
It′s easier to break up
And go back and take a look
It feels worse to wonder
About the chance you never took
