What if I? (the grocery store song), by Molly Grace
I love college radio. This song, "What if I?" by Molly Grace, played on WMUA--UMass Amherst's college radio station. I heard it when I was in the car in mid November, and the DJ was talking about the song, was talking about going to high school with the singer--I think he may have even said he had been in a band with her?
Anyway, I just fell in love with it in one listen, ESPECIALLY when it got to all the store names. If you're in the northeast, you're sure to recognize several of them.
I transcribed the lyrics, then found a lyric video which helped me correct a bunch of my initial mis-hearings (otoh I was able to offer a couple of corrections to the person who made the lyrics video, and they gave me a thumbs up for that, which was nice ^_^).
Um, attention all shoppers, the grocery store will be closing in about three minutes and-- What? What’s that? Oh, um, uh do we have a Molly Grace? Is there a Molly Grace in the establishment? Ah, your presence is being requested at the register. Ah, Molly Grace? Molly Grace?
What if you saw me in the grocery store
Looking fine as hell in aisle four
Would you come over
Tap on my shoulder
Would you struggle just to keep your composure
Would you get nervous, run and hide
Because in your heart, baby, you know that I
Was your ride or die, can’t look in my eyes
Cause you know it was foolish to go say goodbye?
Well that’s the bed you made
So why don’t you go lay
Down on your sheets, go get some sleep
Don’t be surprised when you’re dreaming of me
Cause once you love me, you can’t love another
Once you lose me, you never recover
You might move on, you’ll eternally wonder
What if I? What if I?
Once you lose me, well baby, that’s it
I will not stay for a man that just quits
Cause I walk away he’ll be thinking, Oh shit
What if I? What if I?
Ohhooohh
Mmmmmm
If I were to see you walking down the street
I’d give you a smile, yeah, I’d give you a beep
Roll my windows down
So you hear the sound
Of the song I wrote you blasting through our town
No need to avoid me, cause baby, we’re good
You know I don’t hate you, though maybe I should
You said you were sorry, you said you would call me
Well get in line, cause everybody wants to know Molly
And that’s the choice you made
You’ll realize someday
That someone like me is someone to keep
I don’t play no games cause no one can compete
And once you love me, you can’t love another
Once you lose me, you never recover
You might move on, you’ll eternally wonder
What if I? What if I?
Once you lose me, well baby, that’s it
I will not stay for a man that just quits
Cause I walk away he’ll be thinking, Oh shit
What if I? What if I?
I’m a whole snack in Whole Foods
I’m in Kroger looking real cute
I’m the hottest chick in Publix
I’m in CVS for your sugar fix
In Aldi he want all this
The top of his grocery list
I’m in Stop & Shop finna pop it off
On the liquor store shelf baby I’m the top
I’m a whole snack in Whole Foods
I’m in Kroger looking real cute
I’m the hottest chick in Publix
I’m in CVS for your sugar fix
In Aldi he want all this
The top of his grocery list
I’m in Stop & Shop and I’m popping up
On the liquor store shelf baby I’m the top
Once you love me, you can’t love another
Oh, once you lose me, you never recover
You might move on, you will definitely wonder
What if I? What if I?
Once you lose me, well baby, that’s it
I will not stay for a man that just quits
Cause I walk away he’ll be thinking, Oh shit
What if I? What if I?
Cleanup on aisle 4…
