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
