If I hadn't got you If I hadn't got you Whose friend would I be If I lied all the time If you never trusted my word The love that we make When feelings run high Is all that makes sense in the world And I can never go back, oh no For a moment of sweet solitude If I ever go back I'd be looking for you If I hadn't got you Whose friend would I be If I hadn't got you I would die in solitary If I hadn't got you God only knows what I'd do God only knows Who's friend would I be if I can't take a joke If I can't pull a smile from a tear The love that I feel Whenever you're close Makes yesterday's hurt disappear And I can never go back, oh no For a moment of sweet solitude With my head in my hands I've been waiting for you If I hadn't got you Whose friend would I be If I hadn't got you I would die in solitary If I hadn't got you Whose air would I breathe If I hadn't got you God only knows what I'd do God only knows So don't turn away Never go back Hold onto love Cos love is all we have Maybe you'll be lost in this world Without me If I hadn't got you Whose friend would I be If I hadn't got you I would die in misery If I hadn't got you Whose air would I breathe If I hadn't got you, yeah If I hadn't got you God only knows what I'd do God only knows
