Without You In My Life
Labelle · Back To Now [2009]
How could we say it's over
When it's not over (baby)
How could you hold me in your arms
And say you won't miss me when I'm gone
Chorus
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna cry about it
Without you in my life I would be so lonely
Without you in my arms I would feel so empty
Without you in my life
What can I say?
Tell me what more can I do
You know I #133# you know I #133# I love you
I can't pretend #133# I'm not that strong
I'd move heaven and earth to right what's #133# what's wrong
I said what's wrong #133# oh oh
Chorus
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna cry about it
Without you in my life I would be so lonely
Without you in my arms I would feel so empty
Without you in my life
If only you can see what I see
(if you can only see what I see)
The love I see in your eyes
(your eyes)
You'll always be a part of me
I know that we'll still have the magic we can't deny
(I don't want to go)
Chorus
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna cry about it
Without you in my life I would be so lonely
Without you in my arms I would feel so empty
Without you
Oh you don't know what you do to me #133# no you don't
I said you don't have a clue what you mean to me
I said you you you #133#..
don't you know, don't you know I can't think without you
Don't you know #133# I said I can't dream #133# dream without you baby
(Without you in my life #133# without you in my life
#133# without you in my life)
I don't wanna think about it without you
When it's not over (baby)
How could you hold me in your arms
And say you won't miss me when I'm gone
Chorus
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna cry about it
Without you in my life I would be so lonely
Without you in my arms I would feel so empty
Without you in my life
What can I say?
Tell me what more can I do
You know I #133# you know I #133# I love you
I can't pretend #133# I'm not that strong
I'd move heaven and earth to right what's #133# what's wrong
I said what's wrong #133# oh oh
Chorus
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna cry about it
Without you in my life I would be so lonely
Without you in my arms I would feel so empty
Without you in my life
If only you can see what I see
(if you can only see what I see)
The love I see in your eyes
(your eyes)
You'll always be a part of me
I know that we'll still have the magic we can't deny
(I don't want to go)
Chorus
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna cry about it
Without you in my life I would be so lonely
Without you in my arms I would feel so empty
Without you
Oh you don't know what you do to me #133# no you don't
I said you don't have a clue what you mean to me
I said you you you #133#..
don't you know, don't you know I can't think without you
Don't you know #133# I said I can't dream #133# dream without you baby
(Without you in my life #133# without you in my life
#133# without you in my life)
I don't wanna think about it without you
