Song lyrics
Hearts break too fast
When the sentimental
Won't stay, won't last
When it's love at first sight
So why are my convictions
Blinded by your spotlight
Can't breathe, can't sleep
Need some medication
I'll kiss goodbye to my reservations
I know there's other fish out in the sea
Not for me
I want you

If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
I don't want anyone
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done
Baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you would lose (lose)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)

Hot beat, cold sweat
Thoughts slippin' under
Can't fight, no threat
Cause there's just no use
One look no hesitation
I'm slippin' into you
Forgive these eyes
These lips you're tasting
No time to waste on an invitation
My shame, my self control
Has suffered enough
And everybody wants to be loved

If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
I don't want anyone
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done
Baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you would lose
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)

I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfection's always right around the corner
Could be true
But if I can't have you

If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
I don't want anyone
If I can't have you
Then all the damage has been done
Baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you would lose
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If I can't have you (If I can't have you)
If i cant have you (if I cant have you)

Think of all the love that you would lose (lose)
If I can't have you

Sorry about my misspelling, it was supposed to say 'this'. Dunno how that happened.

One of my very favorites! Alis one along with: My Life Would Suck Without You, Already Gone, Long Shot and Ready. All the others are amazing too!

I like it, its a really fun and upbeat song but honestly I don't like the voice rendering they did to her voice during the bridge, its pretty awful and I scowl whenever I listen to it...however every other part of the song is great; I just hate the unnecessary editing they did during the bridge. ew.
@ kdawgandedgar you gave a seemingly positive review but yet you rated the song the lowest possible rating...?? That doesn't make much sense and you are the reason for the song having the lower rating that it has.

This a mix between a fast and slow song. The lyrics are knitted together very well. She deserves to seen better. This is a great song, become her fan!

I love this song because i consider Kelly clarkson as a wonderful singer. I also love this song because I think that it sort of relates to my life. School is tough that way...

i love the way this song breaks down when it gets to...
I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfection's always right around the corner
Could be true
But if I can't have you


love it!!
