Only you, can make me run, oh it’s you
Be there whenever never I fall
I fall and I fall again, over you
Anything, everything you do
Makes me say, I need you now

Won’t you take your time to love me right, hold me tight
Keep me coming home every night, for you
Ain’t nobody gonna change my mind, don’t think twice
I’ve been looking for you all my life
Baby, how did I survive all this time?

Without you, without you, you, you
Without you, whoa
And I don’t never wanna let you go
I’d do anything, everything, anything, anything
Cause you’re the only one in my life
You, you, you
Without you, and me
Oh baby, and me, baby
Can we start family?
We made if official baby
Me and you

Every night I close my eyes
Thank the lord that you laying next to me
I didn’t think it was possible
But loving you brings out the best of me
Baby, I'll love you right, hold you tight
Keep you coming home every night
For you, and ain’t nobody gonna change my mind, don’t think twice
I’ve been waiting all my life for you

Without you, whoa

Can’t do anything, anything, anything, anything
