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

I wanna do, um
I wanna do this song that I love
Its from my latest album, um
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
Ha, ha
That I have to pick
The first two notes
Out of the air myself
I don't get any
Musical accompaniment
That's kind of difficult
So, I need to just take
A second, and cool out
And get the notes right
Ok, there not coming yet
Hah

I thought some time alone, hah
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 left the one
I love at home to be alone, oh
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

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
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh yeah

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, on lies
So I'm here 'cause I found
This one thing is true
That I'm nothin' without you
I know better now
And I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you
C'mon
(Than good times with someone else)
(I 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

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

I'd rather have bad times with you
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)

I"d rather have bad times with you
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

I'd rather have bad times with you
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

Do, ooh
I'd rather have the one
Who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one
Who holds, my heart
You, ooh, ooh, yeah
You, ooh, ooh, hold my heart, oh yeah
