Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah, baby, it's candlelight by choice now

Look how far we made it, yeah

Talks 'bout traveling 'round the globe now

We can hardly wait, yeah

[Verse 2]

But baby, you think I feel nothin'

You think I'm wastin' your time again

(Time again)

But baby, we've been working on somethin', oh

And I will always love you till the end

[Verse 3]

So whether I'm standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand

Or everybody is listenin' to the guitar man

Whether I'm standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand

Or everybody is listenin' to the guitar man

I can't do it without you

Without you

Baby, yeah

[Verse 4]

Stamps in my blue book now

Baby, we made it, yeah

I'm sorry I can't take you now

I know how much you hate it

[Verse 5]

But baby, you think I feel nothin'

(You think I feel nothin')

'Cause I'm drinkin' with my boys again

But baby, we've been working on somethin', oh

And I will always love you till the end

[Verse 6]

So whether I'm standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand now

Or everybody is listenin' to the guitar man

(Guitar man)

Whether I'm standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand, baby, yeah

Or everybody is listenin' to the guitar man

(Guitar man)

I can't do it without you

Can't do it

Without you

Baby, yeah, yeah

[Verse 7]

Without you

[Verse 8]

Oh, whether I'm standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand, baby, yeah

Or everybody is listenin' to the guitar man

Whether I'm standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand, baby, yeah

Or everybody is listenin' to the guitar man

I can't do it without you

Can't do it without you

Baby, yeah

Standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand

[Verse 9]

Standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand, baby

And everybody's listenin' to the guitar man

Without you

Can't do it without you, baby, yeah

Standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand

Everybody's listenin' to the guitar man now

Standin' on the corner with my heart in my hand
