If I didn't love you I'd be safe from harm I would never find myself Lost inside your arms If I didn't love you I'd never feel the pain Of sunny days without you Drowning in the rain If I didn't love you If I didn't love you Peace would rule the day All the dark and out would surely go away If I didn't love you I wouldn't pay the cost Of living every endless day If our love is lost If I didn't love you If I didn't love you And yet you make me breathless At the way you move I never knew that I Could ever love the way we do I don't know how you reach me In that place in my heart Belonging to only you If I didn't love you I wouldn't lose control The danger loving brings a word Never touch my soul If I didn't love you Perhaps I wouldn't die If you should ever say to me "I'm sorry, goodbye" If I didn't love you How can there be music In the way you touch? I can't believe that somehow I believe in you so much Now you've come and taught me How to give you my heart And make me feel at last That the end will never start You are the only reason I'm not afraid to fall For if I didn't love you If I didn't love you I wouldn't love at all

You tell me I'm wrong And out of line The feeling has gone It's left behind But left upon the stairs The note I couldn't write You walked out of my day Into the night If I didn't love you Would I make you walk from me? If I didn't need you Would I lose you from my dreams? It's easy to see What I've done I went and played out From the one I love And right there in the heat My fingers all were burnt The foundations of our love Were never returned If I didn't love you Would I make you lie and weep? If I didn't need you Would I lose you from my dreams? If I didn't love you Would I make you walk from me? If I didn't need you Would I lose you from my dreams? You tell me I'm wrong And out of line The feeling has gone It's left behind But left upon the stairs The note I couldn't write You walked out of my day Into the night If I didn't love you Would I make you lie and weep? If I didn't need you Would I lose you from my dreams? If I didn't love you Would I make you walk from me? If I didn't need you Would I lose you from my dreams?

I've been building a house I filled it with all the things that I could live without I've been thinking about How the walls come down And the ceiling crashed around my feet Broken on the ground Was nothing that really mattered to me Yeah, yeah And now I see that it's you I needed all along Maybe I'm too late and don't it always seems to go I'll be breaking in two I don't know what I'd do If I didn't have you If I didn't have you Thought I had nothing to lose But that's not the truth I don't know what I'd do If I didn't have you Even as the words came out As they fall I wanna take them back I know I let you down And it's all that I've been thinking about I get I messed it up Like I was far too close to see Now I know that this Is all that really matters to me Yeah, yeah And now I see that it's you I needed all along Maybe I'm too late and don't it always seems to go I'll be breaking in two I don't know what I'd do If I didn't have you If I didn't have you Thought I had nothing to lose But that's not the truth I don't know what I'd do If I didn't I swear time's so slow now I Face it on my own and I Can't do this alone if I If I didn't Say I'm sorry love 'cause I Know I made you feel like I Don't need you Like I could survive If I didn't have you If I didn't have you Thought I had nothing to lose But that's not the truth I don't know what I'd do If I didn't have you If I didn't have you Thought I had nothing to lose But that's not the truth I don't know what I'd do If I didn't have you If I didn't have you If I didn't have you If I didn't have you

From the moment I first met you years ago You were someone I wanted to get to know Just something about the way it felt being with you I knew I liked ya But didn't know what to do 'Cause if I didn't tell ya I still think that you'd know 'Cause you make me so nervous Every time that we're alone And if I didn't have ya I'd still want you to know Baby, you're the one that my heart thinks about the most Do you ever think about it like I do? And would you never regret it like the way I would? There's something about the way you look When you look at me It's wrong to assume, but, you make me believe that If I didn't tell ya I still think that you'd know 'Cause you make me so nervous Every time that we're alone And if I didn't have ya, I'd still want you to know Baby, you're the one that my heart thinks about the most Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh So tell me I'm wrong And make me forget 'Cause the more that I think of The better it gets So tell me I'm wrong (Tell me, tell me) And make me forget (Tell me, tell me) 'Cause the more that I think of (Tell me, tell me) The better it gets Cause if I didn't tell ya (Tell ya), I still think that you'd know (You should know) 'Cause you make me so nervous every Time that we're alone (We're alone, babe) And if I didn't have ya (Have ya), I'd still want you to know (I'd still want you to know) Baby, you're the one that my heart thinks about the most (Baby) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (You're the one) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh

(Difford/Tilbrook) She's not a picture above somebody's fire She sits in a towel with a purple hair dryer, She waits to get even with me. She hooks up her cupcakes and puts on her jumper Explains that she'll be late to a worrying mother, She meets me in Piccadilly. A begging folk singer stands tall by the entrance His song relays worlds of most good intentions, A fiver a ten p in his hat for collection. She talks about office she talks about dresses She's seen one she fancies her smile is impressing, So maybe I'll treat her someday. We queue among strangers and strange conversation Love's on the lips of all forms of engagements, All queuing to see tonight's play. A man behind me talks to his young lady He's happy that she is expecting his baby, His wife won't be pleased but she's not been round lately. The girl was so dreadful we left in a hurry We escaped in the rain for an Indian curry, At the candle lit Taj Mahal. My lips to a napkin I called for a taxi The invite of eyes made it tense but relaxed me, My mind took a devious role. The cab took us home through a night I'd not noticed The neon club lights of adult films and Trini Lopez, My arm around love but my acting was hopeless. We crept like two thieves from the kettle to the fire We kissed to the sound of the silence that we'd hired, Now captured, your love in my arms. A door opened slightly a voice spoke in worry Mum went to bed without wind of the curry, Our secret love made its advance. Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple Loose change in my pocket it started to rattle, Heart like a gun was just half of the battle.

She unscrews the top of her new whisky bottle And shuffles about in her candlelit hovel Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens The black and white TV has long seen a picture The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture The postman delivers the final reminders She sells off the silver and poodles in China Drinks to remember I, me and myself And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf Home is a love that I miss very much So the past has been bottled and labelled with love Durin' the wartime an American pilot Made every air-raid a time of excitement She moved to his prairie and married the Texan She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson He became drinker and she became mother She knew that one day she'd be one or the other He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty Drinks to remember I, me and myself And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf Home is a love that I miss very much So the past has been bottled and labelled with love He like a cowboy died drunk in a slumber Out on the porch in the middle of summer She crossed the ocean back home to her family But they had retired to roads that were sandy She moved home alone without friends or relations Lived in a world full of age reservation On moth-eaten armchairs, she'd say that she'd sod-all The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle Drinks to remember I, me and myself And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf Home is a love that I miss very much So the past has been bottled and labelled with love Drinks to remember I, me and myself Winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf Home is a love that I miss very much So the past has been bottled and labelled with love The past has been bottled and labelled with love The past has been bottled and labelled with love
