Lovers depend on moonlight for a love affair,
Babies depend on mothers for their tender care.
Flowers depend on sunshine and the morning dew.
Each thing depends on something, and I depend on you.

I can be happy, I can be sad, I can be good or I can be bad—
It all depends on you.
I can be lonely out in a crowd, I can be humble, I can be proud—
It all depends on you.
I can save money, or spend it, go right on living, or end it,
You're to blame, honey, for what I do.
I know that I can be beggar, I can be queen, I can be almost any old thing—
It all depends on you.

(I can be happy, I can be sad, I can be good or I can be bad—
It all depends on you.
I can be lonely out in a crowd, I can be humble, I can be proud—
It all depends on you.)

I can save money, or spend it, go right on living, or end it,
You're to blame, honey, for what I do.
I know that I can be beggar, I can be queen, I can be almost any old thing—
It all depends on you, yes. It all depends on you.
