I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today

I had to come and get it straight from you

They said you were leaving, someone swept your heart away

From the look upon your face I see it's true

So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'

Then tell me one thing more before I go



Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been lovin' you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone



Didn't come here for cryin', didn't come here to break down

It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end

How can I blame you when I built my world around

The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends

And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'

I need you know, it's more than I can take



Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been lovin' you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone



And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'

Now that your dream has come true



Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been loving you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

And how am I supposed to carry on

All that I've been livin' for is gone



Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been ... [fade out]
