Just let it go, don't want to haunt you anymore I can't be sure I know just what we're fight for I know that you're scared and that you're thinking I may go I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving And if you're thinking I might, might be lead astray Just remember this one question What if I was nothing, what if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you So what if I was angry, what did you think I'd do? I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothing without you I know it's hard, it seems that we've worked at this so long Soft and foolish pride that tells us we're not wrong I hear your voice, you tell me that you'll never go And I believe it, I believe it And if you're thinking I might, might be lead astray Just remember this one question What if I was nothing, what if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you So what if I was angry, what did you think I'd do? I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothing without you And we can keep this going on, we'll make it work some way And every step, it makes us stronger every day And if you're thinking I might, might be lead astray Just remember this one question What if I was nothing, what if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you So what if I was angry, what did you think I'd do? I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothing without you What if I was nothing, what if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you So what if I was angry, what did you think I'd do? I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothing without you
