Our friends think we're opposites Falling in and out of love They all said we'd never last Still we manage to stay together There's no easy explanation for it But whenever there's a problem We always work it out somehow Work it out somehow They said, it wouldn't last We had to prove them wrong 'Cause I've learned in the past That love will never do without you Other guys have tried before To replace you as my lover Never did I have a doubt Boy it's you, I can't do without I feel better when I have you near me 'Cause no other love around Has quite the same, ooh ooh Like you do, do, do, do babe They said, it wouldn't last We had to prove them wrong 'Cause I've learned in the past That love will never do without you
