Blues Anthem (if I Cannot Have Your Love...) Lyrics - Jimmy Page

If I cannot be so happy without you, my dear 

If I cannot hold you close, every second that you're here 

You must know I can't go on, every time I sing my song 

If I cannot have your love, I'll sing the blues 

Every time I'm feeling low and far away 

All the time I think of you, every second of the day 

And you know you hurt my pride, but I'd rather be by your side 

If I cannot have your love, I'll sing the blues 

Sing the blues all my life, I got trouble, I got strife 

How can a man expect to be so free 

To travel this so lonely road and to carry its heavy load 

Is becoming far too much, too much for me

If I cannot be so happy, then I'm gonna be on my way 

The many nights I needed your love, it never worked out that way 

For I must have my babe, for I'm feeling extremely sad 

If I cannot have your love, I'm gonna play the blues

Sing the blues all my life, so much trouble, so much strife 

How can a man expect to be so free 

To travel this lonely road and carry its heavy load 

I'd rather have your love than sing the blues 

Yes, I'd rather have your love than sing the blues 

Yes, I'd rather have your love, baby, than sing the blues
