[Verse 1]
Hearts break too fast when they're sentimental
Won't stay, won't last when it's love at first sight
So why are my convictions blinded by your spotlight?
Can't breathe, can't sleep, need some medication
I've kissed goodbye to my reservations
I know there's other fish out in the sea
Not for me
I want you

[Chorus]
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done, baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun (If you wanna have some fun)
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)

[Verse 2]
Heartbeat, cold sweat, thoughts slippin' under
Can't fight, no threat, 'cause there's just no use
One look, no hesitation, I'm slipping into you
Forgive these eyes, these lips you're tastin'
No time to waste on an invitation
My shame, my self-control has suffered enough
And everybody wants to be loved

[Chorus]
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done, baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun (If you wanna have some fun)
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)

[Bridge]
I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfection's always right around the corner
Could be true
But if I can't have you

[Chorus]
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done, baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun (If you wanna have some fun)
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)

[Outro]
Think of all the love that you will lose (Lose)
If I can't have you

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
