[Intro: Ronald Isley]
Hello, ladies (Hello)
How are y'all doin' tonight? (Fine)
Can I keep it real? (Yes)
And say what's on my mind (Yes)

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
There you are in that chair
Waiting for me to take you there
To break it down and sing to you
And make you feel these words are true
Who's gonna be the lucky one?
Who spend some money on 'em and have some fun? Tell me
I choose you

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
(What would you do) What would you do if I said all of these words were true?
(What would you) What would you do if I came down here and sat with you?
(What would you do) What would you do if I told the band to break it down?
(Ooh) What would you do if I said I wanna lay you down?
(What) What would you do if I put this money in your hand?
(Would you do) What would you do if I said I'd like to be your man?
(What would you do, baby?) What would you do if I brought you up here on this stage?
What would you do? (Tell me) What would you do?

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley]
The lights are down (Yeah), the mood is set (Yeah)
The sound is right, I'm heated
Look to my left and check my crowd
Look to my right (Yeah) to see if they are ready now
Tell me who out there feels lucky
Wants me to take 'em shopping and buy 'em everything
Hmm, I choose you

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
(Now what would you do, yeah) What would you do if I said all of these words were true?
(What would you do) What would you do if I came down here and sat with you?
(What, what) What would you do if I told the band to break it down?
(Break it down) What would you do if I said I wanna lay you down?
(Ow) What would you do if I put this money in your hand?
(Out this money on your hand, baby) What would you do if I said I'd like to be your man?
(Be your man) What would you do if I brought you up here on this stage?
(Right up here) What would you do? What would you do?

[Bridge: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
(What if I got your) Hair done (Yeah), nails done (Yes, I will)
Toes done (And) bank account (I'll even take you)
Shopping (Girl, I will) if you be good (You'll have)
Your own car (And the) platinum credit cards

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
(What would you do, baby?) What would you do if I said all of these words were true?
(What would you do?) What would you do if I came down here and sat with you?
(What would you do, girl?) What would you do if I told the band to break it down?
What would you do if I said I wanna lay you down?
(Said I gotta know, I've gotta know, ow)
What would you do if I put this money in your hand?
(Right in your hand) What would you do if I said I'd like to be your man?
(Girl, what would you do? Ow) What would you do if I brought you up here on this stage?
(On this stage) What would you do? (What) What would you do?
(Ladies, it's showtime) What would you do if I said all of these words were true?
(Sit back and unwind) What would you do if I came down here and sat with you?
(I'm 'bout to make you mine) What would you do if I told the band to break it down?
(Ow) What would you do if I said I wanna lay you down?

[Outro: Ronald Isley]
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
What would you do? What would you do? What would you do? What would you do?
What would you do? What would you do?

The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the “longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music”.

Alongside a fourth brother, Vernon, the group originally performed gospel music until Vernon’s death a few years after its original formation. After moving to the New York City area in the late 1950s, the group had modest chart successes during their early years, first coming to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, “Shout”, written by the three brothers. Initially a modest charted single, the song eventually sold over a million copies. Afterwards the group recorded modestly successful works for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single, “Twist and Shout” and the Motown single, “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” before recording and issuing the Grammy Award-winning hit, “It’s Your Thing” on their own label, T-Neck Records.
