Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've been together for quite some time
I'd think by now you'd know
It would take forever to get you off my mind
If ever you decide to go
[Verse 2]
I guess I got a little insecurity
When it's concerning you
I guess I'm just afraid that if you ever leave
I'd be in a messed-up state of blue
And I'd be so lonely
[Verse 3]
Without you loving me
I know it's gonna be lonely
Without you giving me
Every little single thing that I need
Lonely
[Verse 4]
Whatever's in your kiss, it really turns me on
Till I go right out of my mind
And who could ever resist
Your accent from Gay Paree
It gets me every time
[Verse 5]
I bet you that you never knew
That in my dreams
You are the star
The only bummer is that you always want to leave
Who do you think you are?
[Verse 6]
Don't you know it's gonna be lonely
Without you loving me
I know it's gonna be lonely
Without you giving me
Every little single thing that I need
Lonely
[Verse 7]
It's gonna be lonely
[Verse 8]
Without you loving me
Giving me everything that I need
Oh pretty baby, can't you see
It's gonna be lonely
[Verse 9]
Without you loving me
I know, I know it's gonna be lonely
Oh, whatever's in your kiss
I never could resist
Oh, baby don't go
[Verse 10]
We've been together for quite some time
It would take forever to get you off my mind
Oh girl
[Verse 11]
Without you loving me
I know it's gonna be lonely
Without you by my side
Don't you know that I could die, baby
[Verse 12]
Without you loving me
Can't you see it's gonna be lonely?
It's gonna be lonely, baby
So lonely, baby
