By Elton John / Bernie Taupin / Leon Russell

IF IT WASN'T FOR BAD

I knew from the first night I met you
Something just wasn't quite right
Loving like an innocent stranger
But something was just out of sight

How could I know that you had used me
Fill out some plan of your own
I could have known you'd abused me
Leave me here hurt and alone

If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
I know that you could be just like you should
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good

I only sung what I wanted to sing
You were a dream in my mind
I never know how you never could be
It didn't take long for me to find

I guess that it's mine for foresee
Only what I wanted to see
I couldn't know you would be
A player just acting for me

If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
I know you could be just like you should
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good

I knew from the first night I met you
Something just wasn't quite right
Loving like an innocent stranger
But something was just out of sight

If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
I know you could be just like it should
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good

If it wasn't for bad you'd be good

  • Can't help but to love this fantasic union. Hey, lets see Elton and Leon help out Emitt Rhodes. Emitt is working on his new CD.

  • It is absolutely fantasic that Elton John and Leon Russell teamed up for an album! And this is one of many great songs they put together !

    Elton said in an interview that he always admired Leon's piano performances, and it only came natural that he wanted to do an album with him.

    Thanks for uploading.

    (but I must say that I didn't quite like seeing all those Elton John sites in the video ... )

  • Co z tego, że homo.. muzykę robi doskonałą! Zawsze!

  • Like fine wine better with age.......gotta luv it!

  • Elton and Leon.......see dreams do come true! I love this song and Leon still has a great voice!

  • @schwibert Well, for me he does soar; personally i'd have liked another song by him instead of You're Never Too Old (by Elton, as you know). As a long time Elton fan I knew of him of course, but now i've been exploring some of his songs on youtube, thinking of getting an album. Yes, i've heard The Union in full lots of times now, and love it. Well, even so soon after his op, he still has what it takes! The final song on the album is very touching

  • @mizofan you might be right..I've seen Elton John many times..I just want so badly for Leon to soar like never before..i do like Elton he has most likely has saved Leons life..after his brain surgery.if you havent heard the who CD you can google NPR...You will be able to hear it all..

  • @schwibert true-their styles are completely different. But that's what makes it a great collaboration. Take a pinch of Elton, add a dash of Leon. That's the recipe for a perfect "Union."

  • @schwibert I think you're being a bit unfair on Elton, he did after all do more than his share of composing and also a sizeable amount of singing and piano playing. With such a good album he must have been doing a bit better than just ok. Much as i love Leon's work on it, it's still a great collaborative effort.
