Verse 1: 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.

Verse 2: 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.

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.
