Sometimes you may think I take you for granted And granted, sometimes maybe I do 'Cause I've grown so used to you lying next to me That I wouldn't want to live if you didn't love me [Chorus] No I wouldn't want to get up in the morning if you weren't there To kiss me and start my day off right And to be waiting when I get home with loving just for me No I wouldn't want to live if you didn't love me It's love that makes the world go round And my love for you just grows with leaps and bounds 'Cause you know just what to do when the world has turned all blue And I wouldn't want to live if you didn't love me
