How Am I Suppoed To Live Without You
David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it
Tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to breakdown
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price
I'm gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone (...solo...)
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
How Am I Suppoed To Live Without You
David Hasselhoff's 1987 single "How Am I Suppoed To Live Without You" stands as a defining track of the New Wave and Synth-pop era, blending his signature high-energy delivery with lush synthesizer arrangements. Released during the height of his television fame, the recording captures the optimism and theatricality characteristic of his discography, featuring a driving rhythm and melodic hooks that became staples of mid-80s pop radio. The song exemplifies the genre's reliance on electronic textures and vocal charisma, serving as a cultural touchstone for the era's youth culture. Its enduring popularity reflects the broader appeal of pop music from the late 1980s, where television stars often bridged the gap between mainstream television and recorded music, creating anthems that remain recognizable decades later.
