Attention OLDIES experts: Need info on song....?

Ok, my dad is wanting a copy of the lyrics to a song. He says the title is 'If'. Just 'If'. He thought it was by Little Anthony and the Imperials but I have been to there website where they list 15 of their albums there and all the songs on each album. That song is not on any of their albums.

If I Google "If lyrics", I get almost 60 Million hits. I have surfed thru several lyrics sites to no avail. I went to Time-Life's website and read thru all the 50's and 60's CD collections they have to see if the it was on one them but I found nothing.

I just don't know how to narrow down the search for the lyrics when I have no idea what the song sounds like or who did it. I just spent over an hour surfing the net and I had my hubby (who is an awesome searcher) surfing for about an hour this morning.

Dad says it would have come out late 50's, early 60's and was done by a motown group (it sounded motown/blues). My dad is looking for the lyrics not a copy of the song.

Thanks!!

I understand that "if" is a common word but he says it's the only word in the title.

If - The Paragons
Peak at # 82 for 1 week 8/14/61

If they made me a king
I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything
I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night
Stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed
Yet, humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd
I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth
What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

(They made me a king
I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything
I'd still be a slave to you)
If I hadn't the right to you

Hope this is the song you want
