Bee Gees - If I Can't Have You Lyrics






Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
No chance for me

My life would end
And it just don't matter how I cry
My tears of love
Are a waste of time
If I turn away

Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...

Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love

To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...

  1. H.... H....

    ....real music lovers like this (original) version another b/site!

  2. J.... L....

    QUE BONITA VERSIÓN CANTADA POR LOS EXTRAORDINARIOS BEE GEES, SALUDOS DESDE PERÚ Y BENDICIONES PARA TODOS 🙂.

  3. J.... T....

    why did they have to shoe horn the falsetto in everything from this period ....in his lower register barry could have smashed this ....sad to say yvonnes version is head and shoulders better

  4. R.... ....

    I miss the 70’s. My dad was a cop and he would drive us around while drinking a beer- it was legal as long as you weren’t actually drunk. We would go to the grocery store and the adults were smoking 🚬in the store. We would go to the drive-in movies, and my brother and I would get our asses whipped for watching pornos on the screen behind our car, instead of Jaws on the screen in front. Maybe this was just Sarasota, Florida though.

  5. s.... ....

    Alternate history.

  6. D.... F....

    Meus Deus demorei um seculo pra achar essa música, Obrigado.

  7. a.... c....

    Wonderfull Song! Angelo by Italia!

  8. Q.... U....

    Barry ...the musical genius of...

  9. M.... N....

    I also recommend Thomas Anders' version of the song.

  10. E.... M....

    Masterpiece

  11. A.... S....

    This song represents how I feel now that my fiancé has passed on. I just don’t want nobody baby

  13. M.... ....

    This song is EPIC!

  14. V.... F....

    That's why ilovebeegees!

  15. S.... T....

    Yvonne is the only way I could hear this song, I love the Bee gees, but no one can do it like her. Like I texted I absolutely love the Bee gees, and it's sounds great, just prefer hers more cause she's a woman in so much emotion, and can't replace that with a man.

  16. y.... ....

    When music made you dream... Dance... Sing...and brings you back to amazing days😉

  17. v.... ....

    October 2019 still bomb

  18. D.... M....

    Robin really should have sung lead here. The bridge and chorus are better. Barry sounds like a chipmunk in the verses.

  19. L.... S....

  20. l.... S....

    Meravigliosi fantastici hanno segnato la mia gioventù bei tempi che non ci saranno mai più

  21. N.... A....

    I grew up in the 70's and 80's listening to the 'Bee Gees' and I LOVE them, but I am partial to the version of this song by Yvonne Elliman

  22. S.... L....

    Bee Gees wrote hits for everyone.

  23. F.... R....

    En la voz de Yvonne Ellimans ,esta cancion suena mejor.

  24. S.... C....

    awesome song!! sent it to my x and love of my life!

  25. R.... K....

    To Jessica 💕

  26. M.... Z....

    Sensacional too Yvonne Elliman.

  27. E.... U....

    discoteca 1978

  28. R.... M....

    Amo amo amo

  29. A.... T....

    Illuminati confirmed!!

  30. D.... D....

    This is my shit!

  31. M.... S....

    Classic 70's anthem 👌

  32. r.... ....

    That screaming

  33. M.... R....

    Tengo 25 años y me encanta esta música. Y en el 2019 la escucho para mi no pasa de moda

    M.... R....

    La buena musica nunca muere, yo tengo 22

  34. c.... ....

    Got a little bit more of the electric guitar giving it a boost for a peppering of Rock and Roll compared to Evonne’s version. Both great but I like this version a little more.

    c.... ....

    Same here.

  35. s.... ....

    The Bee Gees may have wrote this , but  it is Yvonne Elliman 's  song

  36. L.... V....

    Excellent beautiful inmortal songs sublime.

  37. A.... D....

    Yvonne Elliman"s version is still the best but I love this too

    A.... D....

    Yvonne Elliman"s version Isn't HIGH POWERED as this One Is!!
    When A song Can TOTALLY Blow Your Mind and have that Special
    Barry Gibb Scream At the End!! that is Enough To Send Shivers Down
    Your Spine!!! And Power Boost Your Energy Level!!!

  38. G.... R....

    La più bella colonna sonora di tutti i tempi <3

  39. M.... P....

    Eternos Bee Gees MT linda essa música!!

  40. L.... M....

    Forever los Bee Gees

  41. L.... M....

    uuuffff,lo máximo,the Bee Gees

  42. G.... T....

    If this isn’t the best freakin song EVER from The Bee Gees I don’t know what is ... lol .... however when I heard Tragedy in 1977 on a kid’s Panasonic boom box in Waltham Mass I went nuts !!!Lol

  43. M.... B....

    I love BeeGees and this song.I like their version of it❤️

  44. d.... w....

    2019 and im still jamming, how about y'all??

  45. S.... M....

    I much prefer Yvonne’s version just because the lyrics is more suitable for a woman to sing.

    S.... M....

    It was the songs they wrote for Women that probably made the most money

    S.... M....

    they were actually famously known for making songs gender neutral, this song included.

    S.... M....

    Dean Sinclair gay

    S.... M....

    @French Jesus what's so gay about that?

  46. v.... B....

    The song was already nice and they made it perfect

  47. A.... F....

    Ricordi semplici ❤bellissimi

  48. g.... ....

    Bee gees, above and beyond !

  49. R.... J....

    Have they released it on one of their albums ?

  50. F.... G....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  51. M.... L....

    😕😕

  52. J.... C....

    Love❤

  53. T.... L....

    I like Yvonne's version of this song but I just discovered this version about 2 weeks ago. Once I heard this version, it's my favorite. Their harmony is so beautiful and perfect, how could I not like it best? I have loved the BeeGees since I was about 10. How I wish I could go back and relive all the perfect music again.

  54. E.... B....

    Da sogno ♥ the bee gees

  55. L.... S....

    "Led Zeppelin didn't write songs that everybody liked- they left that to the Bee Gees!"  - Wayne & Garth

  56. m.... ....

    This version is more soulful and intense than Yvonne Elliman's.

  57. W.... O....

    There will never be another group like the Bee Gees musically & culturally!!!

  58. J.... ....

    Love both versions!

  59. M.... B....

    Absolutely beautiful song ,and guys too❤️

  60. b.... w....

    Ah I'm near 10 and I listen to these songs the oldies are the best

  61. �.... �....

    Lover BEE GEES! Forever!

  62. I.... J....

    Can't choose, I love this version & Yvonne's. But when it comes to singing it, Yvonne's.

  63. M.... L....

    If I can't have you

    Don't know why
    I'm surviving every lonely day
    When there's got to be
    No chance for me
    My life would end
    And it don't matter how I cry
    My tears of love
    Are a waste of time
    If I turn away
    Am I strong enough to see it through
    Go crazy is what I will do
    If I can't have you
    I don't want nobody baby
    If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
    If I can't have you
    I don't want nobody baby
    If I can't have you, oh oh oh
    Can't let go
    And it doesn't matter how I try
    I gave it all so easily
    To you my love
    To dreams that never will come true
    Am I strong enough to see it through
    Go crazy is what I will do
    If I can't have you
    I don't want nobody baby
    If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
    If I can't have you
    I don't want nobody baby
    If I can't have you, oh oh oh
    If I can't have you

    If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
    If I can't have you
    I don't want nobody baby
    If I can't have you, oh oh oh

  66. A.... D....

    i prefer If I Can't Have You from The Bee Gees than Shawn Mendes

    A.... D....

    Who is Shawn Mendes ?

  67. L.... S....

    Barry, Robin and Mo's voices are beyond amazing. The brothers are such talented singers and songwriters and still were so humble and genuine. Miss you Robin and Mo.

  68. D.... D....

    bee gees originally sang this song, and then Yvonne sang it for the Saturday night fever soundtrack, and the bee gees liked her version so much, that they gave her the song. that is why you mainly hear her version instead of theirs.

  69. A.... M....

    💜💤💙💤💜💤🌹

  70. T.... R....

    I’m confused? Who sang this first? Yvonne? Or Bee Gees? 🤔

    T.... R....

    She sang it first, but they wrote it.

  71. g.... c....

    one of the best bands in the world without any doubt

  72. G.... T....

    I know Barry Gibb wrote this song but I liked Yvonne Elliman's version better.

  73. D.... C....

    That 's what I call great music

  74. G.... -....

    Sonzaço

  75. M.... S....

    Super beautiful !!! Bellissima from Italy by marco

  76. C.... F....

    Wow.....this version is just as awesome as Yvonne Ellimans one....💯👍❤

    C.... F....

    This is the original by the beegees..

  77. t.... ....

    I'm going to have to listen to Yvonne's version next to cleanse the memory of this from my mind.

  78. E.... F....
