What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
Oh, nobody else, nobody else will doWhat am I longing for each lonely night
To feel your lips to mine, to hold you tight
You’ll be the only girl my whole life through
Oh, nobody else, nobody else will do
I want you close to me that’s all I know
I want you all the time because, darling, I love you so
What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do
What am I living for if not for you
Darling nobody else, nobody else will do
