Be Without You Lyrics
[00:05.89] I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
[00:09.59] Ohhh-woah, ohhh-woah
[00:12.02] I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
[00:15.82] Ohhh-woah, ohhh-woah (ooooh)
[00:21.69] Ohhh-woah, ohhh-woah (ooooh)
[00:27.69] Oooh, ohh-ooh-ohh-ooh
[00:30.50] Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
[00:33.00] Neither one of us knew why
[00:36.97] We didn't build nothin' overnight
[00:39.33] 'Cause a love like this takes some time
[00:43.37] People swore it off as a phase
[00:45.92] Said we can't see that
[00:47.85] Now from top to bottom
[00:49.16] They see that we did that (yes)
[00:51.49] It's so true that (yes)

[01:08.96] Anybody who's ever loved, you know just what I feel
[01:13.35] Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
[01:16.88] Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby
[01:23.95] I got a question for ya
[01:25.99] See, I already know the answer
[01:28.42] But still I wanna ask you
[01:30.29] Would you lie? (No)
