Lyrics
If it weren't for you
Oh, how worthless I'd be
If it weren't for you
They'd have to pity poor me
My heart was upside down and sinking
Had no reason to climb
'Til you happened to happen along
Right in the nick of time
If it weren't for you
I'd be getting nowhere
Now instead I can view
The lovely future we'll share
I don't know how I'd go on living
Living the way I do
I'd be only existing
If it weren't for you
I don't know how I'd go on living
Living the way I do
I'd be only existing
If it weren't for you
I don't know how I'd make it
I just couldn't take it
If it weren't for you
If it weren't for you
Writer(s): Irving Taylor, Vic Mizzy
