Like It or Not Lyrics by Genesis

Abacab

1981

[Verse 1]
Oh, don't you know I've been on my own?
But I'm coming home
And I'd like you to be there
I feel a little cold in the air
And you're not anywhere
You're just another face I used to know

[Refrain]
But there is still a chance to hold on to our love
'Cause I gave you everything, everything I had

[Chorus]
Ooh, like it or not, you have done it this time
And like it or not, I've had enough
Ooh, like it or not, there's a lot I could say
'Cause I've got a lot on my mind

[Verse 2]
It won't be very long
You're just another face that I once used to know
And I gave you everything
But what have I got to show? Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, like it or not, you are out on the street
And like it or not, that's where you will stay
Oh, like it or not, there's another thing, darling
Well, I just could not stand another day

[Refrain]
'Cause if you wanna know
There is still a chance to hold on to our love
'Cause I gave you everything, everything I had
Everything I had

[Outro]
It's been a long, been a long, long time
Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone
Oh, it's been a long, been a long, long, long time
But if I'm right or if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway?
It's been a long, been a long, long time
Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone
Oh, it's been a long, long, long, long time
But if I'm right or if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway?
It's been a long, long, long, long time
Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone
Oh, it's been a long, been a long, long, time
If I'm right or if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway?
It's been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone
