If I Can't Have You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day,
when it's got to be
no chance for me.
My life would end,
and it just don't matter how I cry
my tears of love,
a waste of time.
If I turn away,
am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I'll do.
If I can't have you,
I don't want nobody, baby.
If I can't have you.
If I can't have you,
I don't want nobody, baby.
Can't let go,
and it doesn't matter how I try.
I gave it all
so easily
to you, my love,
to dreams that never will come true.
My tears of love,
are a waste of time.
If I turn away,
am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I'll do.
If I can't have you,
I don't want nobody, baby.
If I can't have you.
If I can't have you, no
If I can't have you.
Ah ah ah ah.
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
Am I strong enough to see it through?
If I can't have you.
