The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

IF I HAD YOU

(--- speculated lyrics ---)

After all this time I still can't remember
Things that I've forgotten to say
And every time I see you the words don't come out right
It's just a stupid game that I play

(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even matter
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true if I had you

I've been holding on for what feels like forever
I can't seem to let it all go
Picking up the pieces that we put together
Learning things we already know

(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even matter
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true

Something else is going on I can't see right through
I don't know if it's right or wrong
I don't know what to do
And I can't stop your eyes from saying things we always knew
So look at me and tell me what to do

(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even matter
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true

(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even add up
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true if I had you

COMMENTS

quoted from the VH1.com article 'Deborah Harry: Track by Track':

"This is a power ballad, and it's one of the reasons that we actually went ahead and made a whole album. I had been writing songs for quite a while, and I asked [co-writer] Barb [Morrison] what she was writing. She played me this track and I loved it, I just thought it was great. My manager liked it too, so that was sort of the final clincher that made me want to complete the project and make it into an album. Up until then it had just been a bunch of demos."
