If I Can't Have You (American Idol Performance)

[Verse 1]

Don't know why

I'm surrounded every lonely day

When there's got to be no chance for me

My life will end and it doesn't matter how I cry

My tears now are a waste of time

[Chorus]

If I turn away am I strong enough to see it through

Go crazy is what I'll do

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you, oh

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby

Can't let go

[Verse 2]

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

My tears now are a waste of time

[Chorus]

If I turn away, am I strong enough to see it through?

Go crazy is what I'll do

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby

If I can't have you, oh

If I can't have you, no, oh yeah

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody

If I can't have you, oh

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, oh

If I can't have you

[Outro]

Am I strong enough to see it through?

If I can't have you
