[1st verse:]

I never envied the rich millionaires

I never wanted to have what was theirs

I never bother about their affairs

As the others do

All that I want is a chance to be glad

I've grown so tired of being so sad

There's only one thing I wish that I had

That's you, just you



[chorus:]

If I had you

To just be around when I'm blue

A "Four by Two" would be like a mansion on Fifth Avenue

I wouldn't change places with Carnegie!

And that goes for Rock'feller too!

They could keep all their troubles and "Automobubbles"

If I had you



[2nd verse:]

I never envied those rich millionaires

Who sit around in their silk-covered chairs

Any old sofa with someone who cares

It would more than do

Just you and me and I'd want nothing more

Maybe a baby to play on the floor

I'd have a whole lot to be thankful for

If I had you
