Without You
Monica · New Life [2012]
Only you can make me run only to you
And be there whenever I fall
I fall and I fall again over you
Anything everything you do makes me say
I need you now
Always take the time to love me right, hold me tight
Keep me coming home every night, for you
Ain't nobody gonna change my mind, don't think twice
I've been looking for you all my life, baby
How did I survive all this time without you
Without you, you, you
Without you
And I don't ever wanna let you go
(I'll do anything, anything, anything, anything)
Cause you're the only one I love
Without you, you, you
Without you, oh
And me (oh baby), and me (oh baby)
Can we start a family
We made it official baby
Oh, with me and you
Every night I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that you're laying next to me
I didn't think it was possible
But loving you brings out the best in me, baby
I'll always take the time to love you right, hold you tight
Keep you coming home every night, for you
Ain't nobody gonna change my mind, don't think twice
I've been waiting all my life for you, baby
Got me wondering
How did I survive all this time without you
Without you, you, you
Without you
(I'll do anything, anything, anything, anything)
And be there whenever I fall
I fall and I fall again over you
Anything everything you do makes me say
I need you now
Always take the time to love me right, hold me tight
Keep me coming home every night, for you
Ain't nobody gonna change my mind, don't think twice
I've been looking for you all my life, baby
How did I survive all this time without you
Without you, you, you
Without you
And I don't ever wanna let you go
(I'll do anything, anything, anything, anything)
Cause you're the only one I love
Without you, you, you
Without you, oh
And me (oh baby), and me (oh baby)
Can we start a family
We made it official baby
Oh, with me and you
Every night I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that you're laying next to me
I didn't think it was possible
But loving you brings out the best in me, baby
I'll always take the time to love you right, hold you tight
Keep you coming home every night, for you
Ain't nobody gonna change my mind, don't think twice
I've been waiting all my life for you, baby
Got me wondering
How did I survive all this time without you
Without you, you, you
Without you
(I'll do anything, anything, anything, anything)
