If I Don't Have You

Gregory Isaacs

You may think that I don't care 
'cause I've been a rover here and ev'rywhere 
and friends tell you bad about me 
They never yet say, good 
But one thing I like about you 
You always do as you should , and that's why 
If I don't, if I don't have you 
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no 
And even if the river should run dry 
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no 

I may stay away for a night or two 
But all form of respect unto you, is still due 
Though staying away make you feel mad, it make you feel 
blue 
But it's not that I really mean to embarrass you, 
'cause darling 
If I don't, if I don't have you 
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no 
And even if the tree should touch the sky 
Then for me there'll be nobody else, believe me 

I may stay away for a night or two 
But all form of respect unto you, is still due 
Though staying away make you feel mad, it make you feel 
blue 
But it's not that I really mean to embarrass you, 
'cause darling 
If I don't, if I don't have you 
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no 
And even if the tree should touch the sky 
Then for me there'll be nobody else, believe me
