source for this review

Tonight was disco night on American Idol and out of seven performances we got three Donna Summer songs (Hot Stuff, Dim All The Lights, She Works Hard For The Money) and two Bee Gees songs (Stayin' Alive and If I Can't Have You). Because that's all there was to disco. Feh. Anyway, Adam Lambert blew everybody away with If I Can't Have You, as usual, although Kris' slowed-down take on She Works Hard was quite good. This video will likely have a short life on YouTube.

LYRICS: Adam Lambert "If I Can't Have You" on American Idol
Originally by Yvonne Elliman

Don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end and it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time
If I turn away am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
* If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you ah ah, I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby, if I can't have you ah ah

Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
(Repeat * till fade)
