[Verse 1]
I could get by on barely enough
My pen won't write when the rhyme gets tough
My voice won't work when it's my turn to call
No, I really didn't need them at all
And I could get by without all those things
The colorful laughs the newspaper brings
The toaster don't toast and the freezer don't freeze
You can give them all to charity
[Chorus]
But I couldn't live without your love
Without your love, I'd fade away
I couldn't live without your love
Every day
No, I couldn't live without your love
Without your love, I'd surely die
I couldn't live without your love
In my life
[Verse 2]
Yes, I could get by without all the gold
The price is gonna drop, so I've been told
And my credit gets stuck in the credit machine
It really doesn't matter to me
And I could get by without the glitter of fame
The show don't have to draw when it bears my name
'cause glitter don't melt when I hold it tight
No, I won't be needing fame tonight
[Chorus]
But I couldn't live without your love
Without your love, I'd fade away
I couldn't live without your love
Every day
No, I couldn't live without your love
Without your love, I'd surely die
I couldn't live without your love
In my life
