I’d Rather (Live at Radio City Music Hall, New York – Feb. 12, 2003)

Lyrics

[Intro] I wanna do, um, I wanna do this song that I love It's from my, my latest album, the most current album Um, and we're gonna do some songs from that record right around here 'cause, uh, we had a good time with that Um, the only problem with this song is that it's a song that, uh, haha, that I have to pick the first two notes out of the air myself I don't get any musical accompaniment, that's kinda difficult So, I need to just take a second and cool out and get the notes right Okay, they're not coming yet, ha [Verse 1] I thought some time alone, ah, was what we really needed You said this time would hurt more than it helps But I couldn't see that I thought it was the end of a beautiful story And so I lеft the one I love at homе to be alone And I tried and I found this one thing is true That I'm nothing without you I know better now And I've had a change of heart [Chorus] I'd rather have bad times with you, come on (Than good times with someone else) I'd rather be beside you in a storm Than safe and warm by myself I'd rather have hard times together Than to have it easy apart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah [Verse 2] And then I met someone and thought she could replace you We got along just fine but wasted time because she was not you We had a lot of fun, though we knew we were faking Love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, all lies [Pre-Chorus] So I'm here 'cause I found this one thing is true That I'm nothing without you I know better now And I've had a change of heart [Chorus] I'd rather have bad times with you, come on (Than good times with someone else) (I'd rather be beside you in a storm) Than safe and warm by myself I'd rather have hard times together Than to have it easy apart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart Who holds my heart [Bridge] I can't blame you if you turn away from me like I've done you I can only prove the things I say with time Please be mine [Chorus] (I'd rather have bad times with you) Please be mine (Than good times with someone else) I know better now (I'd rather be beside you in a storm) Any time (Than safe and warm by myself) Surely, surely, baby (I'd rather have hard times together) (Than to have it easy apart) You know that (I'd rather have the one who holds my heart) Ooh yeah, ah yeah I'd rather have (bad times with you) Surely (Than good times with someone else) Surely (I'd rather be beside you in a storm) Oh yeah (Than safe and warm by myself) Doo, ooh, ooh (I'd rather have hard times together) (Than to have it easy apart) You know that (I'd rather have the one who holds my heart) Doo [Outro] I'd rather have the one who holds my heart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh yeah You hold my heart, yeah
