Without Love
Hairspray [2007 Original Soundtrack] Lyrics

Once I was a selfish fool
I used to be extremely self-centered and lacked empathy

Who never understood
I didn’t have any comprehension of other people’s struggles and emotions

I never looked inside myself
I never introspected and reflected on my personal growth

Though on the outside, I looked good!
Even though I appeared successful in life, I had personal flaws that needed introspection

Then we met and you made me
Your presence and influence in my life transformed me

The man I am today
I am now a completely different person thanks to you

Tracy, I'm in love with you
I have developed intense feelings of affection towards you, Tracy

No matter what you weigh
I accept and love you unconditionally, regardless of societal beauty standards

Without love
The absence of love

Life is like the seasons with
Life is similar to the different seasons of the year

No summer
The lack of a happy and joyful time in life

Life is rock 'n' roll without
Life is like rock and roll music, but without

A drummer
The lack of a key element that completes the music

Tracy, I'll be yours forever
I will always be your devoted partner

'Cause I never wanna be
I am committed to always being

Tracy, never set me free
I never want to leave your side, Tracy

Once I was a simple girl
I used to be a straightforward, uncomplicated person

Then stardom came to me
I rose to fame and recognized for my talent

But I was still a nothing
However, I still felt unimportant personally

Though a thousand fans may disagree!
Despite having many fans, I still don’t feel valued personally

Fame was just a prison
Being famous felt like a confinement and constraint

Signing autographs a bore
Fame made even the smallest things like signing autographs appear tedious

I didn't have a clue
I was clueless about what I actually needed

Till you came banging on my door
Until you entered my life and opened my eyes

Life is like my dad without his bromo
Life is like my dad without his medicine

Life's like making out to Perry Como!
Life is like listening to love songs by Perry Como

Darling
A term of endearment

Cause without love
The lack of affection or emotion

Life is like a beat that you can't follow
Life is like a song that you cannot keep up with

Life is Doris Day at the Apollo
Life is the singer Doris Day performing at the Apollo theater

So darling, never set me free
I never want to be away from you, my beloved

I'm yours forever
I belong to you for eternity

Living in the ghetto
Living in an impoverished urban area

Black is everywhere ya go
The color black is a dominant presence in the ghetto

Who'd have thought I'd love a girl
I never thought I would fall in love with a girl

With skin as white as winter's snow
With pale skin like snow in winter

In my ivory tower
Living in my privileged and sheltered life

Life was just a hostess snack
Life was merely enjoyable, but lacked depth

But now I've tasted chocolate
Now that I have tasted the forbidden and unknown

And I'm never going back
I will never return to my former life

Yes now you've captured me
I am under your passionate spell

I surrender happily
I am surrendering myself to you with joy

I don't wanna live without
I cannot imagine living my life without

Love, love, love
Intense affection and fondness

Darling, you had best believe me,
You must trust me, my beloved

Never leave me without love!
I never want to be without the love and affection of my partner
