IF NOT FOR YOU Lyrics
[Intro]
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba
[Verse 1]
There'd be no summer, there'd be no spring
If not for this love of mine
Thorns without flowers, bars with no drinks
If not for this love of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
All the lights, all the parties would just fade out
Shut them down
[Chorus]
If not for you, I wouldn't sing anymore
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da, da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, I couldn't get off this floor
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, Hell would be knockin' on my door
If not for you
[Verse 2]
No more Nirvana, no Billie Jean
No dancin' if you were gone
And how could I wake up? How could I sleep?
How could I be someone?
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba
[Verse 1]
There'd be no summer, there'd be no spring
If not for this love of mine
Thorns without flowers, bars with no drinks
If not for this love of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
All the lights, all the parties would just fade out
Shut them down
[Chorus]
If not for you, I wouldn't sing anymore
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da, da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, I couldn't get off this floor
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, Hell would be knockin' on my door
If not for you
[Verse 2]
No more Nirvana, no Billie Jean
No dancin' if you were gone
And how could I wake up? How could I sleep?
How could I be someone?
[Pre-Chorus]
All those crowds, all the music would just fade out
Not a sound
[Chorus]
If not for you, I wouldn't sing anymore
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da, da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, I couldn't get off this floor
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, Hell would be knockin' on my door
If not for you, ooh
[Bridge]
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da, da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da
[Outro]
If not for you, Hell would be knockin' on my door
Not for you
All those crowds, all the music would just fade out
Not a sound
[Chorus]
If not for you, I wouldn't sing anymore
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da, da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, I couldn't get off this floor
(Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba)
If not for you, Hell would be knockin' on my door
If not for you, ooh
[Bridge]
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da, da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
Da-ba-da-ba-da-da-da
[Outro]
If not for you, Hell would be knockin' on my door
Not for you
