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
