I get a feelin’, lost without you baby
Livin’ alone is drivin’ me crazy
Don’t you know
I got nowhere to go
You should be the one that’s hurtin’
You got everything you need
Back in the days when love was so easy
I was fancy free and laughin’ with no reason
Things have changed
Your touch has grown strange
I can’t help myself
I know that you have left me dyin’ here

Baby, baby
I can’t live without you
Baby, baby
I can’t live without you no more
Baby, baby
I can’t live without you
I feel you know it, huh

Oh, baby, now I’m lost without my baby
Oh, baby, baby, babe, don’t you hear right now
