Lyrics
If I didn’t have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn’t have you in my world
I think I’d just pack up and leave
It seems like I’ve waited a lifetime
To find someone special like you
If you ever walked out of my life
I don’t know what I would do
‘Cause if I didn’t have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn’t have you in my world
I think I’d just pack up and leave
You gave me a reason for livin’
The first time I looked in your eyes
I shudder to think what might happen
If you ever told me goodbye
‘Cause if I didn’t have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn’t have you in my world
I think I’d just pack up and leave
