You can’t live without loving
You can’t love
Without giving of yourself
You can’t know
What you’re missing
Till you give your heart away
To somebody else.

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

Love is alive deep inside you
But you’re afraid to set it free
Give me a chance
Let me guide you
Let me show you how
We’re so close now.

You can’t live without loving
You can’t love
Without giving of yourself
You can’t know
What you’re missing
Till you give your
Heart away
To somebody else.

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

Think of the time that you’ve wasted
While the world has passed you by
Think of the life you never tasted
Spread your wings and fly
Give love a try.

You can’t live without loving
You can’t love
Without giving of yourself
You can’t know
What you’re missing
Till you give your heart away
To somebody else.

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me…
