If I Didn't Love You

I could be wild as a gypsy doin' just what I please
Now back to the past an' my thumb in the breeze
I might be free but where would I be
If I didn't love you, if I didn't love you?

I could row down a river an' never come back
Ride on a rail 'til I run out of track
It wouldn't matter, that's a matter of fact
If I didn't love you, if I didn't love you

If I didn't love you, I'd never have found
These sweet ties that bind without weighin' me down
If I didn't love you, I'd have nothin' to give
I'd spend a lifetime an' never have lived
If I didn't love you, if I didn't love you

I could sail the high sea with my stern to the wind
A mind full of memories of the places I've been
An' I'd still be waitin' for my ship to come in
If I didn't love you, if I didn't love you
