If I cannot be so happy without you, my dear |
|
If I cannot hold you close, every second that you're here |
|
You must know I can't go on, every time I sing my song |
|
If I cannot have your love, I'll sing the blues |
|
Every time I'm feeling low and far away |
|
All the time I think of you, every second of the day |
|
And you know you hurt my pride, but I'd rather be by your side |
|
If I cannot have your love, I'll sing the blues |
|
Sing the blues all my life, I got trouble, I got strife |
|
How can a man expect to be so free |
|
To travel this so lonely road and to carry its heavy load |
|
Is becoming far too much, too much for me |
|
If I cannot be so happy, then I'm gonna be on my way |
|
The many nights I needed your love, it never worked out that way |
|
For I must have my babe, for I'm feeling extremely sad |
|
If I cannot have your love, I'm gonna play the blues |
|
Sing the blues all my life, so much trouble, so much strife |
|
How can a man expect to be so free |
|
To travel this lonely road and carry its heavy load |
|
I'd rather have your love than sing the blues |
|
Yes, I'd rather have your love than sing the blues |
|
Yes, I'd rather have your love, baby, than sing the blues |
