If I Can't Have You

I've tried to have faith in you

Then you turned around and said we're through

How much more love could I give

Than to give up my hopes

So that your dreams could live?

To deny myself

I even lie to myself sometimes

I've carried the woman's share

After loving you

After loving you, baby

Where can I go from there?

I went out and worked when you were sick

Forgave you when I caught you doing me wrong

Understood your short-comings

Didn't mind your nasty ways

I stayed right here and took it all when you left me home

And that's why, that's why

I can stand right here and say today

If I can't have you, baby

If I can't have you, baby

No one, No one else will

To deny myself

I even lie to myself sometimes

I've carried my share

If I can't, if I can't, if I can't have you, baby

If I can't have you, baby

Then no one, then no one, then no one, then no one, then no one

Then no one else will
