Laura Branigan Lyrics

How Am I Supposed To Live Without You

(Michael Bolton, Doug James)

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 about 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 now
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 livin' for... is gone [fade out]
