Lyrics

[Intro]

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

I don't know what I would do

Do without you in my life, boy

I don't know if I could live

Live without you

You bring me joy

[Verse 1]

You know if the time is right I don't wanna fuss and fight

I just wanna let you know I'm feeling good tonight

I want you to take my hand and promise you'll be cool

'Cause I know you like the way that I move

[Verse 2]

Oh, boy, you bring me joy

Some try to play me but they can't fade me

Oh, boy, you've got it going on

And you make me happy, so very happy

[Chorus]

I don't know what I would do

Do without you in my life, boy

I don't know if I could live

Live without you

You bring me joy

[Verse 3]

You know when I think of you, I'm thinking of myself

I just wanna be with you, my friend, and no one else

It's not hard to say what I feel

Because you know that my love is for real

[Verse 4]

Oh, boy, I'll be your toy

Come on and play with me

And never leave me

Oh, boy, you've got it going on

And you satisfy me, yes, you do

You satisfy me

[Bridge]

So much joy in my world

Be my man and I'll be your girl

[Chorus]

I don't know what I would do

Do without you in my life, boy

I don't know if I could live

Live without you

You bring me joy

[Verse 5]

Wait just a minute

Something else is on my mind

I don't wanna have to tell you this but one more time

You're the only man I want and I am never gonna front

On ya, baby, so relax your mind and realize

[Chorus]

I don't know what I would do

Do without you in my life, boy

I don't know if I could live

Live without you

You bring me joy

[Outro]

I don't know what I would do

Do without you in my life, boy

I don't know if I could live

Live without you

You bring me joy
