Best Song Lyric


If I Didn’t Have You
If I were a rich man with a million or two
I’d live in a penthouse in a room with a view.
And if I were handsome, ’cause dreams do come true,
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have you.

Wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have,
Wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have,
Wouldn’t have nothin’.

For years I have envied your grace and your charm.
Ev’ryone loves you, you know. Yes, I know, I know, I know.
But I must admit it, big guy, you always come through.
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have you.

You and me together, that’s how it always should be.
One without the other don’t mean nothing to me, nothing to me.
Sometimes I get a little blue but I wouldn’t have nothing if I didn’t have you.
Yes, I wouldn’t be nothin’ if I didn’t have you.

I wouldn’t know where to go, wouldn’t know what to do.
I don’t have to say it, both know it’s true.
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have,
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have,
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have, you.
Wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have, you.

Don’t have to say it ’cause we both know it’s true
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have,
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have,
I wouldn’t have nothin’ if I didn’t have, you.
You. You. A, E, I, O, that means you. Yeah.
