If I Had You Lyrics

It's so hard, it's so hard
To be good, baby, if I had you
I'd get down on me knees
And I'd pray baby, if I had you

Such a state that I'm in
Every time you walk by
Am I late? Can I win?
Tell me, is it worth the try

All I need is a sign
That I do really stand a chance with you
That my world would be fine
Just to know, baby, if I had you

What a thrill to behold
Anytime, day or night
When I call on you, baby
Everything will be alright

I've had other women
Some that I admire
But no one can compare with you
They couldn't start the fire

It's so hard, it's so hard
To control the feeling that I get from you
When you walk, when you talk
About love, baby, if I had you
If you need some advice
Take a little tip from me
If it's love that you want
I can give you all you need

Because I've had other women
Some that I admire
But no one can compare with you
They couldn't start the fire

It's so hard, it's so hard
To control the feeling that I get from you
When you walk, when you talk
About love, baby, if I had you

If you need some advice
Take a little tip from me
If it's love that you want, baby
I can give you all you need

[Outro]
It's hard
It's so hard
Can't you feel it baby
It's so hard
Well it's getting hard
And it's getting a little bit harder baby
In the middle of the night
Everything will be alright

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 [?]
