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.
I'll admit it,I can be,
Hard to please,
Now and then,
I disagree,just to disagre.
There are times I want,what I want,'cuz,I want it.
There are things I don't know I have,when I got'm.
But when I look at you,I ask myself,
How could there be somebody else?
If not you,who is ever gonna make me happy?
If not love,what is it I feel for you?
If I search the whole world,over,under,still I wonder...
Who could I be looking for,yeah who,if not you?
When i'm stuck and I feel locked up,you turn the key.
You minimize all of my insecurities.
You always seem to know what I need,when I need it.
And when I say,I need only you,believe it.
Of all the many mysteries yet to come,
I've solved the most important one.
If not you,who is ever gonna make me happy?
If not love,what is it I feel for you?
If I search the whole world,over,under,still I wonder...
Who would I be looking for,yeah who,if not you?
There are times I want,what I want,'cuz I want it.
There are things I don't know I have,when I have it.
But when I look at you,I ask myself,
How could there be somebody else?
If not you,who is ever gonna make me happy?
If not love,what is it I feel for you?
If I search the whole world,over,under,still I wonder...
Who would I be looking for,yeah who,if not you?
If not you,if not you...who?
If not you...who?
If not you?
