If I Can't Have You

If I Can't Have You
Hearts break too fast
When the sentimental
Won't stay, won't last
When it's love at first sight
So why are my convictions
Blinded by your spotlight

Can't breathe, can't sleep
Cause the medication
I'll kiss goodbye to my reservations
I know theres other fish out in the sea
Not for me
I want you
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
I don't want anyone
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done
Baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you would lose
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
Hot beat, cold sweat
Thoughts slippin under
Can't fight, no threat
Cause theres just no use
One look no hesitation
I'm slippin into you
Forgive these eyes
These lips are chasin
No time to waste on an invitation
My shame, my elf control
Has suffered enough
And everybody wants to be loved

If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
I don't want anyone
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done
Baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you would lose
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfections always right around the corner
Could be true
But if I can't have you
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
I don't want anyone
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done
Baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you would lose
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
(If I can't have you)

Think of all the love that you would lose
If I can't have you
