Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This impossible power
A strength that I can't see
There's no way that I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex for another sense
Then wanted someone else to try to tell you no, well
[Verse 2]
I think you understand
Oh, that you've got it
I try hard, but I can't
Oh, do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
[Verse 3]
This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense that I had before, well
Why did I just take, and never understand
The love you've given me, could've learnt me more
[Verse 4]
I think you understand
Oh, that you've got it
I try hard, but I can't
Oh, do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
[Verse 5]
What made you think, that I'd be true to you
I needed to prove it to myself, that I could let you go
What made you think that I'd be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying, there was something I was hiding
[Verse 6]
I think you understand
That you've got it
Well I try hard, but I can't
Oh, do without it
Ooh
I can't do without it
Ooh
Wanna let you know that I need you so
Ooh
Aw, aw, honey, come on
Ooh
