If It Wasn't 4 U

I had my dreams and aspirations
I thought you'd back me all the way
But each time I tried to tell you all my best-laid plans
You always had something to say

If it wasn't for you
I could be anything that I wanted to be
If it wasn't for you
Every door would swing wide open just for me
I don't mean to blame you
But it seems so clear to me
It could all come true
If it wasn't for you

You - you have a right to your opinion
No matter how wrong it might be
Sometimes I think that I should go it on my own
But then it would all depend on me

If it wasn't for you
I'd be autographing my biography
If it wasn't for you
I might even have my own show on TV
I could win Survivor or that other show on Fox
I could be a celebrity if I could only learn to box

I've tried to be objective
But it's crystal clear to me
It would all come true
If it wasn't for you

Well I guess it could be wrong
For me to blame it all on you
After all, it's only fair
That I share the burden too
Without you here beside me
I wonder what I'd do?

I'd be the king of the world with a golden statuette
I'd get all those women that I have not had yet
I'd be bigger than Dylan, Springsteen
And even old Elvis P.
I'd be so goddamned big the building would leave me
