Since I Don't Have You Lyrics
Don Mclean
Lyrics
I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In came old misery
And he's been here since then
Now, I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
You-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
You-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
You-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
