I was down and out, and living on my luck

Even that was wearing thin

Turned around one day and you were standing there, babe

You made my life begin



You're the only reason I'm living

I'm loving every minute with you, yeah

You're the reason I'm living

And I owe it all to you



I was lonely, I was down, and I was broke

'Bout as low as a man could be

You picked me up and you saved me, baby

'Cause you believed in me, yes you did



You're the only reason I'm living

I'm loving every minute with you, yeah

You're the reason I'm living

And I owe it all to you, yeah



I'm looking back all things going down

You made me strong

Baby, showed me how to get along

You know you did



Now I stand up straight and hold my head up high

I'm as proud as any man could be

See I've got everything that a man could want to have

Because of you and me, whoa oh



You're the only reason I'm living

I'm loving every minute with you, yes I am

You're the reason I'm living

And I owe it all to you, yeah



You're the only reason I'm living

Loving every minute with you

You're the reason I'm living

And I owe it all to you, yeah



Yes, I owe it

You know I owe it

Baby, baby, baby, baby
