Lyrics Labelle – If I Can’t Have You
Text:
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?
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
