What If
What if you could make him a somebody
Somebody everyone knew?
Dallas is a nobody!
What if you could build him up big?
I mean, that should be easy for you
If Dallas were one of those men
What would my brother say then?
What if you got everyone buzzin'
'Bout someone exciting and new?
The guy's in Philly!
Not if you got word to the press
Of the size of the crowds that he drew
A couple of breaks and he's home
Combing his hair with my comb
Sidney, my life could be mine
Sidney, our goals intertwine
What if you decided to help
The way I made a choice to help you?
Boy, you better be careful
If you do what she wants
Better, better be careful
Sidney
What if
Careful
Sidney
Okay, I'll get him a mention in Dorothy Kill Gala
No! I want Dallas in J.J
What if he could burst on the scene
In a highly awaited debut?
You're talkin' crazy!
What if you remember
How recently you were a nobody too?
Just give him the start he deserves
We can maneuver the curves
Sidney, don't take us halfway
I want my brother to say
"Susan
I'd like you to meet a gifted young man
A man you should know
A man in my column"
You want J.J. to introduce you to Dallas?!
Things are gonna happen
Can you feel it?
Things are gonna change
And change for good
Could you just imagine being happy?
Just happy?
I could
What if life could be mine? (Better be careful if you do what she wants)
Life could be Dallas (You gotta be careful)
What if?
(Think about J.J.)
Sidney
(Careful)
What if?
Think about J.J
Think about J.J
Think about J.J
Oh Sidney
I just want somebody to say they're happy
About Dallas and me!
Sidney, be happy for me
Come on, be happy for me
Sidney, I'd like you to meet a girl full of life
A girl I could be
Better be careful
The road looks bumpy
Better watch out how you help this chick (A girl who loves)
Thinkin' of J.J., it gets me jumpy (A girl who can breathe)
Hurry, the bomb's going
Tick, tick, tick (A girl who can love)
Sidney be nimble, Sidney be quick
Sidney be nimble, Sidney be quick
Sidney (Sidney)
Be careful (Be happy for me)
Sidney (Sidney)
Be careful (Be happy for me)
Careful, careful, Sidney, careful, careful
Sidney, Sidney
