Lyrics

[00:04.14] Yeah, yeah
[00:05.71] If I didn't have you
[00:11.02] If I didn't have you to hold me tight
[00:14.31] (If I didn't have you)
[00:15.48] If I didn't have you to lie with at night
[00:18.68] (When I'm feeling blue)
[00:19.84] If I didn't have you to share my sights
[00:23.06] (Share my sights)
[00:24.12] And to kiss me and dry my tears when
[00:27.31] I cry Well
[00:28.66] I really think that I would...
[00:31.76] Have somebody else (If I didn't have you)
[00:37.40] If I didn't have you, someone else would do
[00:41.66] Your love is one in a million (One in a million)
[00:45.62] You couldn't buy it at any price (Can't buy love)
[00:49.82] But of the 9.999 hundred thousand other loves
[00:55.14] Statistically, some of them would be equally nice
[00:58.17] (Equally nice)
[00:58.99] Or maybe not as nice but, say, smarter than you
[01:03.14] Or dumber but better at sport or tracing
[01:08.28] I'm just saying (I really think that I would)
[01:10.47] Probably (Have somebody else)
[01:15.34] Yeah (If I didn't have you)
[01:16.68] If I didn't have you someone else would do
[01:19.87] (Someone else would surely do)
[01:20.98] If I were a rich man
[01:23.23] Diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-ee
[01:25.58] I guess I would be with a surgeon or a model
[01:27.55] Or a rellie of the Royals or a Kennedy
[01:29.51] Or a nymphomonical exhibitionist heiress
[01:32.09] To a large chain of hotels
[01:33.92] If I were a rich man, maybe
[01:35.72] I would fiddle
[01:36.47] Fiddle-diddle-diddle with the rich man girls
[01:39.02] I'm not saying that
[01:40.10] I'd not love you if
[01:40.73] I was wealthy or handsome
[01:42.40] But realistically there's lots of fish in the sea
[01:44.77] And if I had a different rod
[01:46.09] I would concievably land some
[01:47.66] Even though
[01:48.42] I am fiscally consistantly pitiable
[01:50.30] And considerably less
[01:51.43] Brad Pitt than
[01:52.12] Brad Pitiful
[01:53.14] Am I really so poor and ugly
[01:54.59] That you reckon only you could possibly love me?
[01:56.56] And I (Really think that I would)
[01:58.44] Probably (Have somebody else) (If I didn't have you)
[02:04.51] If I didn't have you, someone else would do
[02:07.81] (Someone else would surely do)
[02:08.81] And look,
[02:09.03] I'm not undervaluing what we've got when
[02:10.79] I say That given the role chaos inevitably
[02:13.09] Plays in the inherently flawed notion of "fate"
[02:15.57] It's obtuse to deduce that
[02:17.03] I've found my soulmate at the age of seventeen
[02:18.69] It's just mathematically unlikely that at a university in
[02:22.41] Perth I happened to stumble on the one girl on
[02:25.21] Earth specifically designed for me
[02:26.85] And if I may conjecture a further objection,
[02:29.36] love is nothing to do with destined perfection
[02:31.62] The connection is strengthened, the affection simply
[02:34.27] grows over time
[02:35.65] Like a flower
[02:36.59] Or a mushroom
[02:37.43] Or a guinea pig
[02:38.42] Or a vine
[02:39.50] Or a sponge
[02:40.37] Or bigotry ...
[02:42.60] Or a banana
[02:44.16] And love is made more powerful
[02:45.56] By the ongoing drama of shared experience
[02:47.99] And the synergy of a kind of symbiotic empathy or...
[02:51.41] Something
[02:52.97] So I trust it would go without saying
[02:54.73] That I would feel really very sad
[02:56.60] If tomorrow you were to fall off something high
[02:59.13] Or catch something bad
[03:01.03] But I'm just saying
[03:02.41] I don't think you're special
[03:04.67] I-I mean,
[03:05.68] I think your special
[03:06.74] But you fall within a bell curve
[03:10.07] I mean, I'm just saying
[03:11.40] I (Really think that I would)
[03:12.31] Probably (Have somebody else)
[03:14.55] I think you are unique and beautiful (Unique and beaut)
[03:18.56] You make me happy just by being around (Being around)
[03:23.06] But objectively, you would have to agree that baby when
[03:26.56] I found you
[03:27.89] Options were relatively thin on the ground
[03:30.83] (Thin on the ground)
[03:31.91] You're lovely but there must be girls as lovely as you
[03:35.81] And maybe more open to spanking or table tennis
[03:41.54] I'm just saying (Really think that I would)
[03:42.98] Probably (Have somebody else)
[03:44.89] I mean I reckon it's pretty likely that if, for example
[03:47.57] My first girlfriend,
[03:48.74] Jackie, hadn't dumped me
[03:50.09] After I kissed
[03:50.95] Winston's ex-girlfriend
[03:51.94] Neah at Steph's party back in 1993
[03:54.38] And our variables would probably have been
[03:56.50] Altered by the absence of that event
[03:58.78] To have meant the advent of a tangential narrative
[04:01.32] In which we don't meet
[04:02.86] Which is to say there exists a theoretical hypothetical parallel life
[04:06.68] Where what is is not as it is and
[04:08.58] I am not your husband and you are not my wife
[04:10.58] And I am a stuntman living in
[04:12.61] LA Married to a small, blonde
[04:14.36] Portuguese skier
[04:15.30] Who, when she's not training
[04:16.55] Does abstract painting
[04:17.61] Practices yoga
[04:18.74] And brews her own beer
[04:19.86] And really like making home movies
[04:21.88] And suffers neck down alopecia
[04:28.80] But with all my heart and all my mind,
[04:30.93] I know one thing is true
[04:32.99] I have just one life and just one love and, my love,
[04:36.03] That love is you
[04:36.87] And if it wasn't for you,
[04:39.21] Darling you (Really think that I would)
[04:41.93] Probably (Have somebody else) (If I didn't have you)
[04:48.23] If I didn't have you someone else would surely do
[04:56.96]
