You may think that I don't care
'cause I've been a rover here and ev'rywhere
and friends tell you bad about me
They never yet say, good
But one thing I like about you
You always do as you should , and that's why
If I don't, if I don't have you
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no
And even if the river should run dry
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no
I may stay away for a night or two
But all form of respect unto you, is still due
Though staying away make you feel mad, it make you feel blue
But it's not that I really mean to embarrass you, 'cause darling
If I don't, if I don't have you
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no
And even if the tree should touch the sky
Then for me there'll be nobody else, believe me
I may stay away for a night or two
But all form of respect unto you, is still due
Though staying away make you feel mad, it make you feel blue
But it's not that I really mean to embarrass you, 'cause darling
If I don't, if I don't have you
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no
And even if the tree should touch the sky
Then for me there'll be nobody else, believe me
'cause I've been a rover here and ev'rywhere
