it hurts me more and more, 'cause girl it just ain't right

to end the day like this, with no more than a kiss

and spend the night just dreaming of the things we're gonna miss.



If I have my way, girl we'd be together

more and more each day. We'd go on forever

lovers hand in hand, can't you understand,

girl you've got to be my woman, I've got to be your man!



'Cause I can't get by without you, I need you more each day.

The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say.

'Cause I love you.  Girl, I need you,

and I can't get by without you, no way!



It's a sad affair, wasting precious time that

you and I could share.  Girl, it's such a crime

to hear you call my name, it's a crying shame

when we're not together then there's only time to blame.



There will come a day.  Girl, I do believe

it's not too far away, when I can say good-night

and still be by your side, to dry the tears you cried

and I'll have all the love I need to keep me satisfied.



'Cause I can't get by without you, I need you more each day

The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say.

'Cause I love you.  Girl, I need you

and I can't get by without you, no way!



I can't get by without you, I need you more each day

The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say.

'Cause I love you.  Girl, I need you

and I can't get by without you, no way!



I can't get by without you baby [No way!]

I can't get by, no [No way!]

The more I see you [No way!]

The more I want you baby, yes I do [No way!]



Can't get by without you, no [No way!]

Can't get by... [No way!]
