You know sometimes 
There come a time in your life 
When you love something 
You got to let it go 
And even though 
You might feel there's still something there 
You have to wake up 
Stop leaving in a dream 
Cause it's over now 
You got to think about you 
I have always wondered why 
Why i can't live without you babe 
And i'm longing to be your lady 
I understand that you are leaving 
Please don't live here without me baby 
Cause i think i might go insane 
1 - cause everybody needs someone to love 
And i know that it's true 
And i know that it's you 
I don't understand 
Why you can't be my man 
So i better wake up 
Stop living in a dream 
Yes i better wake up 
Cause i can't lose the love i never had 
Yeah i better wake up 
As painful as it seems 
Yes i better wake up 
I can not lose the love i never had 
Every time i close my eyes 
I see visions of you and i 
Sharing love of a special kind 
I got to laugh to keep from crying 
To hide all the pain inside 
Cause i can't get you off my mind 
Repeat 1 
Oh, it made me realize 
I don't want to live apart 
But you don't know how hard i tried 
What do i have to lose? 
Oh i think a little bit more than you 
And i doubt that you will see things 
Clearly before it's too late 
Repeat 1 
Never had, never had, never had 
Break it down, break it down 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
All the times i've cried 
It made me realize 
That i was holding on to a lie 
But you don't know how hard i tried 
To make sure you were satisfy yeah 
Cause i thought you were only mine 
And i doubt you will see things clearly 
Before it's too late, too late, too late 
I don't understand why you can't be my man 
Oh everybody needs somebody to love 
Everybody needs somebody yeah 
Oh, do do do… 
Baby, baby, baby i can't live with you 
And i doubt you will see things clearly 
Before it's too late, yeah 
Oh you hurt me so, you hurt me so 
Love that i that i never had 
I can't lose, i can't lose 
I can not lose, i can not lose 
Oh i can't lose a love i never had
