If I Can't Have You by Bee Gees (Yvonne Elliman version) is featured in Saturday Night Glee-ver, the sixteenth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Santana.
Will tells Santana that she has to prepare a song for their Glee Club assignment, since she is confused about her future. This song really is a love song, and Will thinks Santana is singing this to Brittany and wants to become a lawyer someday to fight for marriage equality. However, Santana corrects him - though she was also singing to Brittany - and reveals that she was literally singing about fame and be famous. During the performance of the song, Sam is staring longingly towards Mercedes while Finn is staring at Rachel. Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina can be seen singing back-up.
By the end of the performance, Brittany is moved to tears by Santana's performance.

Santana (with Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina):
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
Santana with Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina:
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, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...
Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
Santana:
I gave it all so easily
To you my love
Santana with Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina:
To dreams that never will come true
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, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...
Santana:
If I can't have you! Oh!
Santana with Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina (Santana):
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh (No, don't want nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh... (I don't want nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh (No nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh... (No no, no no, no no, no!)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you!
