What have I done I've broke your heart
Now there's no sun just cold and dark
Without your smile I can't laugh
Without you baby I'm just a half
I didn't know what I had
I didn't know I'd feel this sad
But I feel
Naked without you
I feel naked without you
I feel naked without you
What have I done I've broke a vow
But I'm the one who's crying now
Without your touch I can feel
Without forgiveness I can't heal
Nobody else can take your place
And if I don't see your angel face
Girl I feel naked without you
I'm still crazy about you
I feel naked without you
I hurt the one that really loved me
Don't look at me I feel ugly
Naked without you
I'm so tired that I can't sleep
I threw away a love so deep
Naked without you I feel
Naked without you I feel
Naked without you
Naked without you in my head
Naked without you in my bed
Naked without you hey baby
Naked without you and I
