What If Lyrics

Eric Martin What If

What if, what if somebody
put some ovaltine in your lemonade
What if, what if the space invaders
took your microwave
Your hour’s over and you still don’t understand
Your head is empty and is buried in the sand

What if, what if the sky is falling
and it’s headed for your face
What if, what if no one was there to save,
save the day
So send your money
and your conscience will be clear
but don’t believe in everything
that you might hear

It’s not my job to keep you happy and amused
I am not your mother,
won’t be driving you to school
And I am not a preacher or a dashboard figurine
just another poster boy, on a trashy magazine
What if, what if I’m not the God
that you ought to be looking for
What if, what if here in the mirror
I’m as stupid as you are
Your hour’s over and you still don’t understand
your head is empty and is buried in the sand

It’s not my job to keep you happy and amused
I am not your mother,
won’t be driving you to school
And I am not a preacher or a dashboard figurine
just another poster boy, flavor of the week

It’s not my job to keep you happy and amused
I am only human and I wish that you were too
I’m no super hero I just play one on T.V.
The miracle you’re looking for
is only in your dreams
What if life wasn’t so f..cking hard?
