And What If I Don't - Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock

I’m not afraid of growing old

Or dying young or never finding someone

And I’m not scared of the great unknown

Or being alone when it’s all said and done

I’m braver than I used to be

But there’s still some things in life that terrify me

What about a phone call in the middle of the night

You whispering so she can’t overhear you

Telling me you still want me desperately

What about a knock on the door at three a.m.

Don’t have to hear your voice to know you’ve been drinking

What if my hand opens the door and lets you in

Oh, no what if I can’t say no again

I drive right by that old restaurant

The one we used to haunt without turning my head

Ooh, and I don’t think twice about killing the lights

Yeah I sleep through the nights without you in my bed

And knowing I don’t need you here

Should leave me nothing to fear

What about a phone call in the middle of the night

You whispering so she can’t overhear you

Telling me you still want me desperately

What about a knock on the door at three a.m.

Don’t have to hear your voice to know you’ve been drinking

What if my hand opens the door and lets you in

Oh, no, what if I can’t say no again

What about a phone call in the middle of the night

You whispering so she can’t overhear you

Telling me that you still want me desperately

What about a knock on the door at three a.m.

Don’t have to hear your voice to know you’ve been drinking

What if my hand opens the door and lets you in

Oh, no, what if I can’t say no again

Oh, no, what if I can’t say no again
