If I Didn't Have U
Lava Baby 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!
