Tim Minchin - If I Didn't Have You Lyrics
Yeah, yeahIf I didn't have youIf I didn't have you to hold me tight(If I didn't have you)If I didn't have you to lie with at night(When I'm feeling blue)If I didn't have you to share my sights(Share my sights)And to kiss me and dry my tears when I cryWell I really think that I would... Have somebody else(If I didn't have you)If I didn't have you, someone else would doYour love is one in a million(One in a million)You couldn't buy it at any price(Can't buy love)But of the 9.999 hundred thousand other lovesStatistically, some of them would be equally nice(Equally nice)Or maybe not as nice but, say, smarter than you Or dumber but better at sport or tracingI'm just saying(I really think that I would)Probably(Have somebody else)Yeah(If I didn't have you)If I didn't have you someone else would do(Someone else would surely do)If I were a rich manDiddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle-eeI guess I would be with a surgeon or a modelOr a rellie of the Royals or a KennedyOr a nymphomonical exhibitionist heiress to a large chain of hotelsIf I were a rich man, maybe I would fiddleFiddle-diddle-diddle with the rich man girlsI'm not saying that I'd not love you if I was wealthy or handsomeBut realistically there's lots of fish in the seaAnd if I had a different rod I would concievably land someEven though I am fiscally consistantly pitiableAnd considerably less Brad Pitt than Brad PitifulAm I really so poor and ugly that you reckon only you could possibly love me?And I(Really think that I would)Probably(Have somebody else)(If I didn't have you)If I didn't have you, someone else would do(Someone else would surely do)And look, I'm not undervaluing what we've got when I sayThat given the role chaos inevitably plays in the inherently flawed notion of "fate"It's obtuse to deduce that I've found my soulmate at the age of seventeenIt's just mathematically unlikely that at a university in PerthI happened to stumble on the one girl on Earth specifically designed for meAnd if I may conjecture a further objection, love is nothing to do with destined perfectionThe connection is strengthened, the affection simply grows over timeLike a flowerOr a mushroomOr a guinea pigOr a vineOr a spongeOr bigotry... or a bananaAnd love is made more powerful by the ongoing drama of shared experience And the synergy of a kind of symbiotic empathy or... somethingSo I trust it would go without sayingThat I would feel really very sadIf tomorrow you were to fall off something highOr catch something badBut I'm just sayingI don't think you're specialI-I mean, I think your specialBut you fall within a bell curveI mean, I'm just saying I(Really think that I would)Probably(Have somebody else)I think you are unique and beautiful(Unique and beaut)You make me happy just by being around(Being around)But objectively, you would have to agree that baby when I found youOptions were relatively thin on the ground(Thin on the ground)You're lovely but there must be girls as lovely as youAnd maybe more open to spanking or table tennisI'm just saying(Really think that I would)Probably(Have somebody else)I mean I reckon it's pretty likely that if, for exampleMy first girlfriend, Jackie, hadn't dumped meAfter I kissed Winston's ex-girlfriend Neah at Steph's party back in 1993And our variables would probably have been altered by the absence of that eventTo have meant the advent of a tangential narrative in which we don't meetWhich is to say there exists a theoretical hypothetical parallel lifeWhere what is is not as it is and I am not your husband and you are not my wifeAnd I am a stuntman living in LAMarried to a small, blonde Portuguese skierWho, when she's not trainingDoes abstract paintingPractices yogaAnd brews her own beerAnd really like making home moviesAnd suffers neck down alopeciaBut with all my heart and all my mind, I know one thing is trueI have just one life and just one love and, my love, that love is youAnd if it wasn't for you, darling you(Really think that I would)Probably(Have somebody else)(If I didn't have you)If I didn't have you someone else would surely do
