Sometimes I wonder why you can’t live without love,
It starts out good, then it turns to push and shove.
Oh yeah at first it’s all exciting and new,
Before you know it, it’s all old and abused. 

Tell me why, tell me why,
You can’t live without love.
Oh tell me why tell me why
you can’t live without love. 

I know there’s many of you,
Know what I’m speaking of. 

Romeo and Juliet, they were just kids,
They fell in love and look what they did.
Vincent van Gogh went and cut off his ear,
For a woman he loved so dear.

 Tell me why, tell me why,
You can’t live without love.
Oh tell me why tell me why
you can’t live without love.

I know there’s many of you,
Know what I’m speaking of. 

Yeah…..

You fall in love, and slowly it dies.
And the pain lingers longer, than the happy side.
Your love falls apart, you don’t know what to doSo you walk around miserable thinking what you been through. 

Tell me why, tell me why,
You can’t live without love.

Oh tell me why tell me why
You can’t live without love.
I know there’s many of you,
Know what I’m speaking of.
