MEAT LOAF - If I Can't Have You lyrics

rate me

To say it's love would be too simple

Too obvious

It's more like a calling, a vocation

Something I was

Put on this earth to do

Now I'm shooting with the stars

And I'm flying with the angels

And my heartbeat is a symphony the

Closer I get to you

I never saw you comin' till you

Came and here you are

I never thought someone

Would ever dare

To come this far

You're up for the resistance

And I'm strong in my persistence

And I've never known

A remedy like ours

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

I would be a river dried up

Into dust

I would be imprisoned

For ever having loved

If I can't have you

I don't wanna be me

Then I would be the same man

You scraped off the ground

I'd have to go back bein'

That broken soul you found

Those days are in the darkness

I buried them with hardness

And I'd have to dig those

Demons out

Your life is like anchor that puts

Me in my place

No you won't let me sink when

I'm off losin' my way

Thank God for your virtue

And the wisdom in your eye

Cause somehow you

Get through on

All that crazy in my mind

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

I would be a river

Dried up into dust

I would be imprisoned for never

Having loved

If I can't have you

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me

Why did it take you so long to

Finally see

That we had love

That you don't find easily

You broke my heart and the price

To pay for that

Is you'll have to live the misery of

Losing what you had

If I can't have you

My words have come to late

I've already turned that page

Don't you look at me back and

That's the part I hate

I'll stay trapped inside my hell

Where it's so hot

That my walls melt

And I can hear a promise

In every lie you said

You'd never tell

If I had only told the truth

Oh I could never trust you to

You'll survive

No I will die

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

Then I'm sorry for the things I

Cost you in the end

My punishment is more than any

Man can stand

I need you in my life

I can't let go

Why don't you stay with me

Tonight

I feel alone

Turn off all the lights

Take me home

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

Then I would be a river

Dried up into dust

I would be imprisoned

For ever having loved

If I can't have you

I don't wanna be me

To say it's love would be too simple
