Yeah, yeah... | |
If I didn't have you to hold me tight | |
If I didn't have you to lie with at night | |
If I didn't have you to share my sighs | |
And to kiss me and dry my tears when I cry | |
Well I, really think that I would | |
Have somebody else | |
Someone else would do | |
Your love is one in a million | |
You couldn't buy it at any price | |
But of the 9 point 9 9 9 hundred thousand other loves | |
Statistically some of them would be equally nice | |
Or maybe not as nice but say, smarter than you | |
Or dumber but better at sport or... tracing | |
I'm just saying | |
Probably | |
If I didn't have you someone else would do | |
If I were a rich man | |
Fiddle 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 conceivably land some | |
Even though I am fiscally consistently pitiable | |
And considerably less Brad Pitt than Brad pitiful | |
Am I really so poor and ugly that you reckon only you could possibly love me | |
And I | |
Probably | |
If I didn't have you someone else would 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 deduce 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... | |
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 you’re special | |
But, you fall within a bell curve | |
I mean, I'm just saying I | |
Probably | |
I think you are unique and beautiful | |
You make me happy just by being around | |
But objectively you would have to agree that baby when I found you | |
Options were relatively thin on the ground | |
You're lovely but there must be girls as lovely as you | |
Or maybe more open to spanking or table tennis... | |
I'm just saying | |
Probably | |
I mean I reckon it's pretty likely that if for example | |
My first girlfriend Jackie hadn't dumped me | |
After I kissed Winston's ex girlfriend Neah at Stephs party back in 1993 | |
Enough variables would probably have been altered by the absence of that event | |
To have meant the advent of a tangential narrative in 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 Portuguese skier | |
Who when she's not training | |
Does abstract painting | |
Practises yoga | |
And brews her own beer | |
And really likes 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 my love that love is you | |
And if it wasn't for you | |
Baby you | |
Probably | |
Someone else would do |
Yeah, yeah... | |
If I didn' t have you to hold me tight | |
If I didn' t have you to lie with at night | |
If I didn' t have you to share my sighs | |
And to kiss me and dry my tears when I cry | |
