If It Wasn't For Bad - Elton John, Leon Russell

I knew from the first night I met you

Something just wasn’t quite right

Looked like an innocent stranger

But something was just out of sight

How could I know that you would use me Fill out some plan of your own

I couldn’t have known you’d abuse me Leave me here hurt and alone

If it wasn’t for you I’d be happy

If it wasn’t for lies you’d be true

I know you could be just like you should

If it wasn’t for bad you’d be good

I only saw what I wanted to see

You were a dream in my mind

I didn’t know how you really could be It didn’t take long for me to find

I guess that it’s my fault for seeing

Only what I wanted to see

I couldn’t know you would be A player just acting for me If it wasn’t for you I’d be happy

If it wasn’t for lies you’d be true

I know you could be just like you should

If it wasn’t for bad you’d be good

I knew from the first night I met you

Something just wasn’t quite right

Looked like an innocent stranger

But something was just out of sight

If it wasn’t for you I’d be happy

If it wasn’t for lies you’d be true

I know you could be just like you should

If it wasn’t for bad you’d be good
