If Not for You
Bob Dylan
If anything I am or hope to be
If any compliments are paid to me
If any praises I receive for anything that I achieve
I'll never rightfully belong to you.
For when I wonder you convinced me that I could
Knowing you depended on me proved I should
And in your mind you never doubted that I would
But what would I do (what would I do) if not for you.
I see admiration in your eyes
And I believe you think I hung the moon
And if I fail like other men or find the will to try again
But anything I am begins with you.
For when I wonder you convinced me that I could
Knowing you depended on me proved I should
And in your mind you never doubted that I would
But what would I do (what would I do) if nor for you.
What would I do (what would I do) if nor for you
