Well, I lost my heart on the day we met, but I gained a lot that I don't regret Then I hung around till you said I do, I knew I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you Well, it changed my thinking when you changed your name, and neither one of us will ever be the same And I swear I'm never gonna be untrue, cause I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you If I didn't have you, I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold, blowing around from town to town like a feather in the wind If I didn't have you, I know I'd be floundering around like a ship at sea, lost in the rain of a hurricane, and that's where I'd have been But I didn't get lost cause I saw your light, shining like a beacon on a cold dark night Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue, no I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you Well, I count my blessings every night I pray, that the Lord lets me keep you just one more day And every day he does, cause God knows too, that I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you If I didn't have you, I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold, blowing around from town to town like a feather in the wind If I didn't have you, I know I'd be floundering around like a ship at sea, lost in the rain of a hurricane, and that's where I'd have been But I didn't get lost cause I saw your light, shining like a beacon on a cold dark night Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue, no I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you Well, I've already said it but I swear it's true, I know I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
