Leon Russell - If It Wasn't For Bad lyrics

I knew from the first night I met you Something just wasn't quite right Looked like an innocent stranger But something was just out of sight How could I know that you would use me Fill out some plan of your own I couldn't have known you'd abuse me Leave me here hurt and alone [Chorus:] 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 only saw what I wanted to see You were a dream in my mind I didn't 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 would be A player just acting for me [Chorus] I knew from the first night I met you Something just wasn't quite right Looked like an innocent stranger But something was just out of sight [Chorus]
