Never Want to Live Without You
Mary J. Blige · My Life
Can't live without you
(Can't live without you)
Can't live without you, baby
(Ohhh)
Can't live without you
(Chorus)
I never wanna live without you baby
I wanna be your lady
Love is sooo amazing
I never wanna live without you baby
I wanna be your lady
Love is sooo amazing
(Vs.1)
What is this feeling? I can't sleep at night
Just thinking 'bout being without you
Work 'til I'm tired and I can't eat a bite
'Cause I know someday is only...
(Chorus)
(Vs.2)
I have the man that I want
I prayed so many nights for you and then my prayers came true
Now that I have the answer, I'll be wishing on a star
I'll follow you where you are
I don't wanna be alone so baby let's stay together
Through any kind of weather, yeah
Let's make a happy home because you mean so much to me baby
That's why I wanna be your lady
(Chorus) 2x's
I don't wanna be alone so baby let's stay together
Through any kind of weather
Let's make this a happy home because you mean so much to me baby
That's why I wanna be your lady
(Chorus)
Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(Baby, won't you stay?)
Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(Stay with me for a little while)
Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(All I wanna know is...)
Baby, won't you stay with me a little while?
(...can you stay?)
Won't you stay with me?
I need you
Oh, I need you
I need your warm embrace
I need your sweet, sweet taste, baby
C'mon, c'mon. C'mon, C'mon
Stay with me
Stay, stay
(Can't live without you)
Can't live without you, baby
(Ohhh)
Can't live without you
(Chorus)
I never wanna live without you baby
I wanna be your lady
Love is sooo amazing
I never wanna live without you baby
I wanna be your lady
Love is sooo amazing
(Vs.1)
What is this feeling? I can't sleep at night
Just thinking 'bout being without you
Work 'til I'm tired and I can't eat a bite
'Cause I know someday is only...
