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.
