If I Can’t Have You Lyrics

I want to hold you
Treat you right
Give really good lovin'
Mornin' noon and night
But if I can't have you darlin'
Don't want your love for nobody else

I get so lonely without you
Nobody makes me feel the way that you do
If I can't have you darlin'
Don't want your love for nobody else

This time, maybe tomorrow
Hoping that day will come
May you love me only, and tell me I'm gonna be the one

Run your fingures through my hair
To have and hold you, no more cares
If I can't have you darlin'
Don't want your love for nobody else

I get so lonely without you
Nobody makes me feel the way that you do
If I can't have you darlin'
Don't want your love for nobody else
This time, maybe tomorrow
Hoping that day will come
May you love me only, and tell me I'm gonna be the one

I'm unaware, what can I do
I'm losing sleepless nights because of you
If I can't have you darlin'
Don't want your love for nobody else

Saying if I can't have you darlin'
I don't want your love for nobody else

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
