Lyrics
If Not For You
You're as tame as a pack of loaded guns
But one look at your smile and I was stunned
You leave a trail of broken hearts
I should've known my life would come undone
But there's something about the way you are with me
It's an addiction baby it's just so plain to see
How can I not get over it
Why should I live each day in misery
Chorus
If not for you, if not for you
I'd get back on my feet
Get off this one way street
If not for you
If not for you, if not for you
I'd get back on my feet
Get off this one way street
If not for you
There's so many things we just don't understand
This ain't one of them just trying to be your man
Someday I'll say I've had enough
And keep my sanity while I still can
I wish I could say it's been a great ride
The scars are deep and wide I hope you're fully satisfied
No use in looking back
Just turn around and say goodbye
Repeat Chorus
