YVONNE ELLIMAN

- If I Can't Have You Lyrics

Words and music by Barry Gibb

Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
no chance for me
My life would end

And it doesnt't matter how I cry
My tears of love a waste of time
if I turn away
Am I strong enough to
see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

(chorus)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, ah
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, ah

Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
to you my love
To dreams that never
will come true
Am I strong enough to
see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

(chorus)

(repeat to fade)

What is the meaning behind If I Can't Have You lyrics?


When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, Yvonne Elliman's 'If I Can't Have You' is a poignant expression of love that asserts the singer's ultimate unwillingness to suffer and live with anything less. To the very point that the song's emotional turmoil is related to the artist's denial of love to the world. The lyrics sound like the heartbreak and the battling within to relinquish a love that is still very much alive and this may never be realized, yet, it expresses the strong desire and hold on someone or something that is not accessible. If I can't have you lyrics place main focus on love, heartbreak, despair, angst, and solitude. In parallel, the song underscores the significance of unreciprocated love, hopelessness, and emotional distress alongside each other. The lyrics talk about love and emotional suffering, which are not appropriate for very young children. Although there are no overt signs of violence, sex, or drug abuse, the emotional intensity and themes of breakup imply that parental guidance might be suitable.

It means exactly what it says it makes me miss my best friend. My one true love who left me to go back home in VA. I miss him and there's been no one since him. I can't wait til we're 2gether again.
