I was born on the wrong of the city   Desperation in my mother's eyes   Factory whistle would wake me in the morning   At night the sirens sang my lullaby      Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle   Heart of leather and hands of steel   Thought I was too much of a sole survivor   To ever feel the way I feel      CHORUS   But I don't want to live without your love   I don't want to live without your love   I can't take another night   And I've lost the will to fight   I don't want to live without your love      Dance with the Devil in a bottle of whiskey   I paid the fiddler for every song   You'd think with all the lessons learned the hard way   I'd know enough to be strong   (repeat chorus)
