 Struggling with You? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Could have Guitars that I have never played, 
Every Elvis album ever made.
I got the cars, I should learn to drive
Could have a house that would blow your mind!

You can have what I got cause I don't got nothing worth having if I ain't got you,
You can take what you want cause I don't want nothing, I've nothing if I don't have you.

I've been to places all around the world,
Seen the faces of so many girls.
Never thought I would fall in love,
I guess the songs I write are not enough

You can have what I got cause I don't got nothing worth having if I ain't got you,
You can take what you want cause I don't want nothing, I've nothing if I don't have you.

I can say what I need but I'll never need anything more, if I didn't have you.

You can have what I got cause I don't got nothing worth having if I ain't got you.

So take it away, you know I don't need that sorrow if I'm broke I'll borrow.
Just lend me a smile,
As long as your here by my side!

Take what you want, ain't got nothin', ain't got nothin but you babe.
Take what you want babe, ain't got nothin' 
Oh I ain't got nothin'

You can have what I got cause I don't got nothing worth having if I ain't got you (Aint got you)
You can take what you want cause I don't want nothing, I've nothing if I don't have you.

You can have what I got cause I don't got nothing worth having if I ain't got you (Aint got you)
You can take what you want cause I don't want nothing, I've nothing if I don't have you.

You can have what I got cause I don't got nothing worth having if I ain't got you
You can take what you want cause I don't want nothing, I've nothing if I don't have you.
