As Long as I Have You
Cast - Liv and Maddie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
No chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love
Are a waste of time
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh, oh!
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh
Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh, oh!
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh OH!
If I can't have you! Ooh!
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
(No, don't want nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh
(I don't want nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
(No nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh
(No no, no no, no no, no!)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
(No)
If I can't have you!
The song "As Long As I Have You" by the Cast of Liv and Maddie is about someone who is desperately in love with someone else, but does not believe that the love will ever be reciprocated. The song talks about the pain of unrequited love and the feeling of being lost and alone without the other person. The lyrics express a fear of not being strong enough to let go of this love and a willingness to go crazy to keep it.
The lyrics start off with the singer expressing feelings of hopelessness and despair. They feel like there is no chance for them to ever be with the person they love and they cry in vain for their love. The chorus repeats the phrase "If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby" emphasizing their desire for this one person.
The second verse talks about how the singer gave everything they had to their love, but their dreams of being together will never come true. They question if they are strong enough to see it through and whether they will go crazy if they cannot have the person they love. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song drives home the theme of unrequited love and desperation.
Overall, the song is a sad and emotional expression of love that cannot be fulfilled. It speaks to the heartache and longing that comes with wanting someone who does not want you back.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't know why
I'm unsure of the reason
I'm surviving every lonely day
I'm managing to make it through each day by myself
When there's got to be
Even though it seems inevitable that
No chance for me
I have no possibility of success
My life would end
I would feel as though life is no longer worth living
And it doesn't matter how I cry
No matter how much I cry
My tears of love
The tears I shed for love
Are a waste of time
Serve no purpose
If I turn away
If I give up
Am I strong enough to see it through
Do I have the emotional strength to persevere
Go crazy is what I will do
Lose control of my sanity
If I can't have you
If I cannot be with you
I don't want nobody baby
I don't want anyone else
Can't let go
I am unable to move on
And it doesn't matter how I try
Despite my efforts
I gave it all so easily
I gave everything to you without hesitation
To you my love
To the one I love
To dreams that never will come true
To aspirations that will never be realized
If I can't have you! Ooh!
Expressing frustration at not being able to be with the one they want
No, don't want nobody
Absolutely no one else
(I don't want nobody)
Repeating that they don't want anyone else
