Meat Loaf - If I Can t Have You
nd Fret
Intro:
(# Spoken #)
To say it s love would be too simple, too obvious
It s more like a calling, a vocation
Something I was put on this earth to do
Now I m shooting with the stars and I m flying with the angels
And my heartbeat is a symphony, the closer I get to you
I never saw you coming, til you came and here you are
I never thought someone would ever dare to come this far
You re up for the resistance and I m strong in my persistence
And I ve never known a remedy like ours
Chorus:
If I can t have you, if I can t have you
I would be a river, dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned for never having loved
If I can t have you, I don t wanna be me
Then I would be the same man you scraped off the ground
I d have to go back being, that broken soul you found
Those days are in the darkness, I buried them with hardness
And I d have to dig those demons out
Your life is like an anchor that puts me in my place
No, you won t let me sink, when I m off losing my way
Thank God for your virtue and the wisdom in your eye
Cause somehow you get through, on all that crazy in my mind
Chorus:
If I can t have you, if I can t have you
I would be a river, dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned for never having loved
If I can t have you, I don t wanna be me
I don t wanna be...
Why did it take you so long to finally see
That we had a love that you don t find easily?
You broke my heart and the price to pay for that
Is you ll have to live the misery of losing what you had_______
If I can t have you_____
Instrumental:
Me, my words have come too late
I ve already turned that page
Don t you look at me that way
Cause you ll throw me back
And that s the part I hate
I ll stay trapped inside my hell
Where it s so hot that my walls melt
I can hear a promise in every lie
You said you d never tell
If I had only told the truth
Oh, I could never trust you to
You ll survive
No, I will die_____
If I can t have you, if I can t have you
Then I m sorry for the things I cost you in the end
My punishment is more than any man can stand
I need you in my life
I can t let go
Why don t you stay with me, tonight?
I feel alone
Turn off all the lights
Take me home
Chorus:
If I can t have you, if I can t have you
Then I would be a river, dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned for never having loved
If I can t have you, I don t wanna be me_____
