You know sometimes there come a time in your life

When you love something you got to let it go

And even though you might feel there's still something there

You have to wake up

Stop leaving in a dream cause it's over now

You got to think about you



I have always wondered why

Why I can't live without you babe

And I'm longing to be your lady

I understand that you are leaving

Please don't leave here without me baby

Cause I think I might go insane



Chorus:

Cause everybody needs someone to love

And I know that it's true

And I know that it's you

I don't understand why you can't be my man

So I better wake up

And stop living in a dream

Yes I better wake up

Cause I can't lose the love I never had

Yeah I better wake up

As painful as it seems

Yes I better wake up

I cannot lose the love I never had



Every time I close my eyes

I see visions of you and I

Sharing love of a special kind

I got to laugh to keep from crying

To hide all the pain inside

Cause I can't get you off my mind



Chorus



Oh, it made me realize

I don't want to live apart

But you don't know how hard I tried

What do I have to lose?

Oh, I think a little bit more than you

And I doubt that you will see things

Clearly before it's too late



Chorus



I never had, never had, never had

Break it down, break it down



All the times I've cried

It made me realize

That I was only living a lie

But you don't know how hard I tried

To make sure you were satisfied yeah

Cause I thought you were only mine

And I doubt if you will see things clearly

Before it's too late, too late, too late



I don't understand why you can't be my man

Oh everybody needs somebody to love

Everybody needs somebody yeah

Baby, baby, baby I can't live with you

And I doubt that you will see things clearly

Before it's too late, yeah

Oh you hurt me so, you hurt me so

I can't lose, I can't lose

I can not lose, I can not lose

I can't lose the love I never had

Ohhhh Oh oh
