英國實力歌姬［佩圖拉．克拉克］──流行抒情曲──［I Couldnt Live Without Your Love／沒有你的愛，我活不下去］

 

 

Youre the only one that I rely on

A shoulder there for me to cry on

And the hours alone that Im without you

All I ever do is think about you

 

No one knows that youre so understanding

Even though my love is so demanding

Every time you look at me

Then youll know well both agree

That no other love could be

 

I couldnt live without your love

Now, I know youre really mine

I gotta have you all the time

 

Didnt like you much when I first met you

But somehow, I couldnt quite forget you

Said you didnt want a friend or lover

That your life was happy with another

 

But as time went by, my love grew stronger

Knew that I just couldnt wait any longer

For I couldnt let you go

And I had to tell you so

That I loved you, then youd know

 

I couldnt live without your love

Now, I know youre really mine

I gotta have you all the time

 

Now, the tears are gone and Im not cryin

When you say you love me, youre not lyin

So, when people want to stare

I know I dont really care

Just as long as you are there

 

I couldnt live without your love

Now, I know youre really mine

I gotta have you all the time

 

I couldnt live without your love

Now, I know youre really mine

I gotta have you all the time
