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 'bout the plans you're makin'   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'   Even 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   When all that I've been livin' for is gone      Gone 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
