When I leave your door, when we say good-night
it hurts me more and more, 'cause girl it just ain't right
to end the day like this, with no more than a kiss
and spend the night just dreaming of the things we're gonna miss.

If I have my way, girl we'd be together
more and more each day. We'd go on forever
lovers hand in hand, can't you understand,
girl you've got to be my woman, I've got to be your man!

'Cause I can't get by without you, I need you more each day.
The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say.
'Cause I love you. Girl, I need you,
and I can't get by without you, no way!

It's a sad affair, wasting precious time that
you and I could share. Girl, it's such a crime
to hear you call my name, it's a crying shame
when we're not together then there's only time to blame.

There will come a day. Girl, I do believe
it's not too far away, when I can say good-night
and still be by your side, to dry the tears you cried
and I'll have all the love I need to keep me satisfied.

'Cause I can't get by without you, I need you more each day
The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say.
'Cause I love you. Girl, I need you
and I can't get by without you, no way!

I can't get by without you, I need you more each day
The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say.
'Cause I love you. Girl, I need you
and I can't get by without you, no way!

I can't get by without you baby [No way!]
I can't get by, no [No way!]
The more I see you [No way!]
The more I want you baby, yes I do [No way!]

Can't get by without you, no [No way!]
Can't get by... [No way!]
