Thought it wouldn't matter If we didn't stay together, And if it was over, Maybe it was for the better. I was thinking I'd be alright, 'til I thought it all through. Now I know that I ain't really living If I have to live without you. I don't want to live without your love, I don't want to face the night alone. I could never make it through my life If I had to make it on my own. I don't want to love nobody else, I don't want to find somebody new. I don't want to live without your love, I just want to live my life with you. Guess I had to go away, So much I had to go through. Guess I had to lose you To realize how much I love you. Can we make the fire burn again, Burn a little stronger? 'cause I've been alone, and baby, I can't be alone now any longer. I don't want to live without your love, I don't want to face the night alone. I could never make it through my life If I had to make it on my own. I don't want to love nobody else, I don't want to find somebody new. I don't want to live without your love, I just want to live my life with you. Oh, if I had to make it on my own, My life would never be the same, My love would never be the same. I don't want to live without your love. [chorus repeats]
