If I Didn't Have You

I don't know what I was thinking

'Til I was thinking of you

I don't remember a thing before I opened my eyes

And you came into view

I don't know what I was doing

When there was nothing to do

Must've been waiting for someone, baby

Now I can see - I was waiting for you

I'd give up my sight just to see you

I'd beg, I would borrow and steal

I'd cut off my hands just to touch you

And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel

There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me

If I didn't have you

Driving myself to distraction

Until you got in my way

I was just whistling Dixie 'til you struck up the band

And they started to play

I don't know how I was living

Until you came in my life

I always knew there was something wrong

Then you came along

Baby, you made it right

I'd give up my sight just to see you

I'd beg, I would borrow and steal

I'd cut off my hands just to touch you

And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel

There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me

If I didn't have you

I was alone in the silence

'Til I was hearing your voice

I couldn't see my way clear until you parted the clouds

And you gave me a choice

I couldn't pick up the pieces

'Til I was falling apart

I didn't know I was bleeding

'Til your love fixed this hole, baby, here in my heart

I'd give up my sight just to see you

I'd beg, I would borrow and steal

I'd cut off my hands just to touch you

And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel

There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow

There's no place that I'd rather be

This life without you would be hollow

This love is a gift, and you gave it to me

All that I am, you have made me

And baby, I know that it's true

I'd give it all up in a heartbeat

Just to spend every moment with you

There's no place that I wouldn't follow

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me

If I didn't have you
