Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't know why

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

If I turn away

[Verse 2]

Am I strong enough to see it through?

Go crazy is what I will do

[Verse 3]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

[Verse 4]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

[Verse 5]

Oh, whoa

Do, da, do, da, da, da, da, yeah, yeah

Do-do, do, do

Do-do, do, do

[Verse 6]

Can't let go

And it doesn't matter how I try

I gave it all, so easily

To you my love

[Verse 7]

Two dreams that never will come true

Am I strong enough to see it through?

Go crazy is what I will do

[Verse 8]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

[Verse 9]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

[Verse 10]

Oh, if I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

No, nobody

[Verse 11]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

I don't want nobody

[Verse 12]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

Nobody

[Verse 13]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you

Ah, ha, oh

[Verse 14]

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby
