Love Will Never Do (Without You)
Janet Jackson · Best: International Edition [2009]
our friends think we're opposites
fallin' in and out of love
they all said we'd never last
still we managed to stay together
there's no easy explanation for it
but whenever there's a problem
we'd 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 that 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, like you do-do-do-do babe
fallin' in and out of love
they all said we'd never last
still we managed to stay together
there's no easy explanation for it
but whenever there's a problem
we'd 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 that 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, like you do-do-do-do babe
