IF IT'S LOVE (WITHOUT YOU) (Pete Ham)
[Acoustic guitar demo from "Without You, The Tragic Story of Badfinger (1st edition book)" CD - recorded 1969 - released U.S. 1997]

Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the party goes
You always smile, but in your eyes, the sorrow shows, mm it shows

Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there and then I let you go
And now, it's only fair that I should let you know (I let you know)

If it's love that you need
[scat singing]
If it's love
[scat singing]

IF IT'S LOVE (WITHOUT YOU) (Pete Ham)
[electric piano demo from Golders Green CD - recorded 1969 - released U.S. 1999]

Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the party goes
You always smile, but in your eyes, the sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there and then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you must know

If it's love that you need
Do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo
If it's love that you need
Do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo

Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the party goes
You always smile, but in your eyes, the sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ah-oooooo-oo
