Here she comes, mm, just like an angel. Seems like forever that she's been on my mind. Nothing has changed, she thinks I'm a waste of her time. There she goes. No, she don't know what she's missing. Can't she see I'll never give up the fight. I'll do all I can. She understands my desire. I've been on the outside looking in. Let me into your heart. Oh. There's nothing on earth that should keep us apart. Baby, I can't live without your love and affection. I can't face another night on my own. I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone, 'cause I can't live without your love. Oo your love. So I wait, mm, here for an answer. Wonder if tomorrow will be like this today. I keep holding on, can't go on living this way, baby. I've been on the outside looking in. Bring my tears to an end, oh. I realize it's no use for me to pretend. Oh, yeah. I can't live without your love and affection. I can't face another night on my own. I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone, 'cause I can't live without your love. With your love, I put my arms around you. Can't find the words to tell you that I can't live without your love. I can't live without your love and affection. I can't face another night on my own. I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone. Baby, I can't live without your love and affection. I just can't go on this way any more. As hard as I try there's one thing that I know for sure. I can't live without your love. There she goes. I can't live without your love, baby. There she goes. I can't live without your love, baby. There she goes. I can't live without your love, baby.
