Song Lyrics

I could hardly believe it
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'
Oh, tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me, how am supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

There's no time for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
Just a dream of mine that's 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
I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
Even now it's more than I can take

So tell me, how am supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
Even now it's more than I can take
Tell me, how am supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

(I can't live without you, baby)
You said you were leaving, I can hardly believe it
That you're leaving, baby
(I can't live without you, baby)
You know that you're the only one I love
And you're my lady
(I can't live without you, baby)
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you?

(I can't live without you baby)
I hoped that we'd be more than friends
And all that's coming to an end

(I can't live without you, baby)
Just tell me 'bout the plans you're making
And let me know, my love, you're taken
