If I Can’t Have You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hearts break too fast when they're sentimental
Won't stay, won't last when it's love at first sight
So why are my convictions blinded by your spotlight?
Can't breathe, can't sleep, need some medication
I've kissed goodbye to my reservations
I know there's other fish out in the sea
Not for me
I want you

[Chorus]
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done, baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun (If you wanna have some fun)
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)

[Verse 2]
Heartbeat, cold sweat, thoughts slippin' under
Can't fight, no threat, 'cause there's just no use
One look, no hesitation, I'm slipping into you
Forgive these eyes, these lips you're tastin'
No time to waste on an invitation
My shame, my self-control has suffered enough
And everybody wants to be loved
[Chorus]
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done, baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun (If you wanna have some fun)
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)

[Bridge]
I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfection's always right around the corner
Could be true
But if I can't have you

[Chorus]
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done, baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun (If you wanna have some fun)
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
[Outro]
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you

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 [?]
