No One
The Citizens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I realise how long it’s been
And how much we’ve seen
Been through some good times
And some lean
I make her happy and sad
I’ve been good and real bad
That we’re together
Happy or mad
No one else can take her shoes
No one can deal with my blues
I’m so happy it’s you
'Cause without you, I wouldn’t know what to do
She always gives me her best
In years and all the rest
I’m more than blessed
To have an angel that stood time's test
I hope that I can be
Just half of what she means to me
No burden, no test
I just want to give her my best
No one else can take her shoes
No one can deal with my blues
I’m so happy it’s you
'Cause without you, I wouldn’t know what to do
