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.
I want you beside me.
I want you to be with me everyday.
'Cause what would I do,
Oh if I can't have you?
I want you to guide me,
Helping me see the light of day.
'Cause I'll be sad and blue,
Oh if I can't have you.
(If I can't have you)
I'll be your daddy honey,
I'll be your little boy.
I'll give you all my money,
I'll give you all my joy.
And when your days are sunny,
Those days I won't destroy.
Ooh baby I'm giving, I'm giving.
Giving, I'm giving, I'm giving
It all to you.
Everything.
Hoping you feel like giving it too.
'Cause I'll be sad and blue,
Oh if I can't have you.
(If I can't have you)
You get me so excited,
You make it so unreal.
No matter how I fight it,
That's just the way I feel.
Don't take your love and hide it,
Don't stop a spinning wheel.
Ooh baby I'm giving I'm giving...
You are everything.
Hoping you feel like giving it too.
'Cause I'll be sad and blue,
Oh if I can't have,
What would I do, oh yeah,
What would I do if I can't have you?
(If I can't have you)
