Joe Jackson If It Wasn't for You song lyrics

If it wasn't for you my friend why should everything be such a fuss

It's so difficult to pretend that the living is easy with us

You tell me what to do

And I tell you where to go

One and one is two

But not because you tell me so

If it wasn't for you I bet I could do better sleeping at night

It's so difficult to forget every stupid or meaningless fight

You say go away

And I say it's fine with me

Then I want to stay

Nowhere that I'd rather be

You can be anything

A slave or a master

Any joker or any king can be a

Sad bastard

And I'd be one too, if it wasn't for you

If it wasn't for me I guess, you could be someone better by now

It's so difficult to confess, but I see we're together somehow

I don't want to know

If I got it right or wrong

Hope you never go

Hope we're gonna get along

You can be anyone

A beggar or chooser

Any father or any son can be a

Real loser

And I'd be one too, if it wasn't for you

You can be anything

A slave or a master

Any joker or any king can be a

Sad bastard

And I'd be one too, if it wasn't for you
