Lyrics
If Not 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.
Who's gonna water my plants?
Who's gonna patch my pants?
And who's gonna give me the chance to feel brand new?
Who's gonna iron my shirts?
Who's gonna kiss where it hurts?
And who needs a man when he flirts the way I do?
Who if not you
Who if not you
Who if not you
Who if not you
Who's gonna wake me on time?
Who'll smile and say I look fine?
And who's gonna stay on my mind the whole day through?
Who's gonna see that I'm fed?
Who's gonna want me in bed?
But who'll watch T.V. instead because I do?
Who if not you
Who if not you
Who if not you
