(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]
