Elton John - If It Wasn't For Bad lyrics

I knew from the first night I met you Something just wasn't quite right Loving like an innocent stranger But somethin' was just out of sight How could I know that you abused me Fill out some plan of your own I couldn't know you'd abuse me Leave me here hurt and alone If it wasn't for you I'd be happy If it wasn't for lies you'd be true I know that you could be just like you should If it wasn't for bad you'd be good I only saw what I wanted to see You were a dream in my mind I'll never know how you really could be It didn't take long for me to find I guess that it's my fault for seeing Only what I wanted to see I couldn't know you were being A player just acting for me If it wasn't for you I'd be happy If it wasn't for lies you'd be true I know you could be just like you should If it wasn't for bad you'd be good I knew from the first night I met you Something just wasn't quite right Loving like an innocent stranger But something was just out of sight If it wasn't for you I'd be happy If it wasn't for lies you'd be true I know you could be just like you should If it wasn't for bad you'd be good If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
