If I Can't Have You Lyrics

If I Can't Have You (Pat Robinson, Tim Cooney, Michael Georgiades) CHORUS I'd rather have no one Than have all the rest I'd rather have nothin' Than settle for less And if there's a reason For the things we do I'd rather have nothin' If I can't have you Is it a matter of time until it falls apart Another justification for a broken heart Like a house of cards that's ready to fall If I can't have you, I want nothin' at all CHORUS And we do our best to make things work But things get complicated and we get hurt If wishes were horses, you know we all would ride What does it take to keep us satisfied? CHORUS And things aren't always the way they seem All our expectations go up in dreams I count my blessings that I've got something to lose I know what I've got 'cause I've paid my dues BRIDGE Days go by like a lazy river If she makes mistakes, you know I forgive her CHORUS
