If I Didn't Have You Lyrics

Yep yeah

If I didn't have you

If I didn't have you to hold me tight

(If I didn't have you)

If I didn't have you to lie with at night

(When I'm feeling blue)

If I didn't have you to share my sights

(Share my sights)

And to kiss me and dry my tears when I cry...

Well I, really think that I would...

Have somebody else.

(If I didn't have you)

If I didn't have you, someone else would do

Your love is one in a million

(One in a million)

You couldnt buy it at any price

(Can't buy love)

But of the 9 point 9 hundred thousand other loves,

Statistically some of them would be equally nice.

(Equally nice)

Or maybe not as nice but say, smarter than you...

Or dumber but better at sport or...

Tracing

I'm just saying

(I really think that I would)

Probably

(Have somebody else)

Yeah.

(If I didn't have you)

If I didn't have you someone else would do

(Someone else would surely do)

If I were a rich man

And did a diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddly

I guess I would be with a surgeon or a model

Or any of the royals or a kennedy

Or a nymphomonical exhibitionist heiress to a large chain of hotels

If I were a rich man maybe I would fiddle

Fiddle diddle diddle with the rich man girls

I'm not saying that I'd not love you if I was wealthy or handsome

But realistically there's lots of fish in the sea

And if I had a different rod I would concievably land some

Even though I am fiscally consistantly pitiable

And considerably less brad pitt than brad pitiful

And I'm really so poor and ugly that you reckon only you could possibly love me

And I

(Really think that I would)

Probably

(Have somebody else)

Oh yeah

Visual.

(If I didn't have you)

(Someone else would surely do)

Look, I'm not undervaluing what we've got when I say

That given the role chaos inevitably plays in the inherently flawed notion of fate,

It's obstruse to deduse that I've found my soulmate at the age of 17

It's just mathematically unlikely that at a university in perth

I happened to stumble on the one girl on earth specifically designed for me

And if I may conjecture a further objection love is nothing to do with destined perfection

The connection is strengthened the affection simply grows over time

Like a flower

Or a mushroom

Or a guinea pig

Or a vine

Or a sponge

Or bigotry

... or a banana (banana)

And love is made more powerful by the ongoing drama of shared experience and synergy

And symbiotic empathy or something like that...

So I trust it would go without saying

That I would feel really very sad if tomorrow you were to fall off something high

Or catch something bad

But I'm just saying

I don't think you're special

I mean... I think your special

But

You fall within a bell curve

I mean, I'm just saying I

(Think that I would)

Probably

(Have somebody else)

I think you are unique and beautiful

You make me happy just by being around

(Being around)

But objectively you would have to agree that baby when I found you

Options are relatively thin on the ground

(Thin on the ground)

Your lovely but there must be girls as lovely as you

Or maybe more open to spanking or scrabble...

I'm just saying

(That I think that I would)

Probably

(Have somebody else)

I mean I reckon it's pretty likely that if for example

My first girlfriend jackie hadn't dumped me

After I kissed winstons ex girlfriend neah at stephs party back in 1993

And our variables would probably have been altered by the absence of that event

To have meant the advent of a tangential narrative and which we don't meet.

Which is to say there exists a theoretical hypothetical parallel life

Where what is is not as it is and I am not your husband and you are not my wife

And I am a stuntman living in LA

Married to a small blonde portugese skier

Who when she's not training

Does abstract painting

Practises yoga

And brews her own beer

And really like making home movies

And suffers neck down alopecia

But with all my heart and all my mind I know one thing is true

I have just one life and just one love and love that love is you

And if it wasn't for you

Baby you

(I really think that I would)

(Have somebody else)

Oh yeah

(If I didn't have you)

If I didn't have you someone else would do

(Someone else would surely do)

Dooooooooooooo.
