If it wasn't for you, my friend
Why should everything be such a fuss
It's so difficult to pretend
That the living is easy with us
You tell me what to do
And I tell you where to go
One and one is two
But not because you tell me so

If it wasn't for you
I bet I could do better sleeping at night
It's so difficult to forget
Every stupid or meaningless fight
You say go away
And I say it's fine with me
Then I want to stay
Nowhere that I'd rather be

You can be anything
A slave or a master
Any joker or any king can be a
Sad bastard
And I'd be one too
If it wasn't for you

If it wasn't for me, I guess
You could be someone better by now
It's so difficult to confess
But I see we're together somehow
I don't want to know
If I got it right or wrong
Hope you never go
Hope we're gonna get along
You can be anyone
A beggar or chooser
Any father or any son can be a
Real loser
And I'd be one too
If it wasn't for you

You can be anything
A slave or a master
Any joker or any king can be a
Sad bastard
And I'd be one too
If it wasn't for you

And I'd be one too
If it wasn't for you

And I'd be one too
If it wasn't for you
