About The Song
“If I Can’t Have You” is a classic disco song, written and produced by the Bee Gees in 1977. The first recorded version was by Yvonne Elliman, who released it as the A-side single for the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack in November 1977. The song reached the Top 10 in several countries, including the US, where it peaked at #1 and spent 2 weeks on the Hot 100 chart. It also reached #4 in the UK and #9 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The Bee Gees also recorded their own version of the song as the B-side of their “Stayin’ Alive” single, which was released a month later.
Yvonne Elliman’s song “If I Can’t Have You” is a classic anthem of unrequited passion and longing. The meaning behind the song is love that is never quite attained, even though someone is deeply in love and their affections are not reciprocated. The lyrics express feelings of longing and regret, with Elliman singing about her inability to let go of the person she desires deeply. The song’s chorus is particularly memorable, with Elliman passionately singing “If I can’t have you / I don’t want nobody, baby”. The song’s composition and Elliman’s powerful vocals solidified its place in disco music history.

Lyrics
Don’t know why I’m surviving every lonely day
When there’s got to be no chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn’t matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, ah hah hah
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, ah hah hah, oh, do-do-do
Can’t let go, and it doesn’t matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
Oh, If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can’t have you, I don’t want…
