If It Wasn't for You - Joe Jackson

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
