I thought I'd sit right down 
And write this song for you
I think you never understood my point of view
You came into my life, a smell of summer wine
Poisoned up my blood and left me behind
 
Mysterious, you were so unpredictable
Charming ways were always so believable
Circumstances made it all come shining through
To tell the truth was not what you intended to, oh no
 
You could not live without me, you said
So baby, how come you're not dead yet?
Oh oh oh
 
Well, everything you said to me about being true
Now I realize that words don't mean that much to you
I can't believe you wasted all this time on me
Showered me with promises and poetry
 
You could not live without me, you said
So baby, how come you're not dead yet?
Oh, yeah, yeah
 
People come and people go
We hurt each other
This I know
But it's not that simple
When the hour is late
Baby, don't go

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

I see you walking by, but I don't feel a thing
Funny, how I thought that we were everything
Someone else will now be falling for that smile
I'm proud to say, that I'm no longer worth your while

You could not live without me, you said
(Could not live without me you said)
No, you could not live without me, you said
But baby, how come you're not dead yet?
Oh...

Could not live without me, you said
Yeah, yeah

Could not live without me, without me, without me, 
without me, without me, without me, without me
Oh oh, without me
