Lyrics: James Harris III, Terry Lewis, James Wright, Mary J. Blige
|
Music: Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
|
|
You know sometimes
|
There come a time in your life
|
When you love something
|
You have to let it go
|
And even though
|
You might feel there's still something there
|
You have to wake up
|
Stop leaving in a dream
|
Cause it's over now
|
You got to think about you
|
|
I have always wondered why
|
Why I can't live without you babe
|
And I'm longing to be your lady
|
I understand that you are leaving
|
Please don't live here without me babe
|
Cause I think I might go insane
|
|
Chorus:
|
Cause everybody needs someone to love
|
And I know that it's true
|
And I know that it's you
|
I don't understand
|
Why you can't be my man
|
So I better wake up
|
Stop living in a dream
|
Yes I better wake up
|
Cause I can't lose the love I never had
|
Oh I better wake up
|
As painful as it seems
|
Yes I better wake up
|
I cannot lose the love I never had
|
|
Every time I close my eyes
|
I see visions of you and I
|
Sharing love of a special kind
|
I got to laugh to keep from crying
|
To hide all the pain inside
|
Cause I can't get you off my mind
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Oh it made me realize
|
I don't want to live apart
|
But you don't know how hard I tried
|
What do I have to lose?
|
Oh I think a little bit more than you
|
And I doubt you will see things clearly
|
Before it's too late
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Never had, never had, never had
|
Break it down, break it down
|
|
All the times I've cried
|
It made me realize
|
That I was only living a lie
|
But you don't know how hard I tried
|
To make sure you were satisfied yeah
|
Cause I thought you were only mine
|
And I doubt if you will see things clearly
|
Before it's too late, too late, too late
|
I don't understand why you can't be my man
|
Oh everybody needs somebody to love
|
Everybody needs somebody yeah
|
Oh, do do do
|
Baby, I can't live with you
|
And I doubt that you will see things clearly
|
Before it's too late, yeah
|
Oh you hurt me so, you hurt me so
|
|
I can't lose, I can't lose
|
I can not lose, I can not lose
|
Oh I can't lose a love I never had
|
|
|
