What if I made some time to listen to you
  What if you made some time to hear me too
  What if we took the time to realize
  Givin' some love is givin' compromise
  What if I could show you that my love is true
  Without all these changes we be going through
  What if we learned to play it by the rules
    [Chorus:]
  What if we was cool...cool
  Wasn't acting like fools...fools
  What if we was cool...cool
  Wouldn't that be cool
    What if we tried something not tried before
  What if we let love open up the door
  What if we set some goals, but not too high
  What if we both agreed to really try
  What if we knew that we could disagree
  But s'til made love the first priority
  Show me love like you're suppose to do
    [Chorus]
    Do you hear me baby
  'Cause our love is fading
  Can I get the message through to you
  I'm someone to love
    What if we had equality for all men
  What if we forgot all our forefather sins
  What if you forgot the color of my skin
  What if you could wear the skin I'm in
    What if we knew that we could disagree
  But still make love the first priority
  Show me love like you're suppose to do
    [Chorus]
  People can yousee
  'Cause our love is fading
  Can I get a message through to you
  Can we keep this thing cool
  A lot of love we're needing
  I'm ready and I'm willing
  Don't you know that I s'til think of you
  As someone to love
    [Chorus out]
