If I Had You Lyrics

[1st verse:]
I never envied the rich millionaires
I never wanted to have what was theirs
I never bother about their affairs
As the others do
All that I want is a chance to be glad
I've grown so tired of being so sad
There's only one thing I wish that I had
That's you, just you

[Refrain:]
If I had you
To just be around when I'm blue
A "Four by Two" would be like a mansion on Fifth Avenue
I wouldn't change places with Carnegie!
And that goes for Rock'feller too!
They could keep all their troubles and "Automobubbles"
If I had you

[2nd verse:]
I never envied those rich millionaires
Who sit around in their silk-covered chairs
Any old sofa with someone who cares
It would more than do
Just you and me and I'd want nothing more
Maybe a baby to play on the floor
I'd have a whole lot to be thankful for
If I had you
