Without You
Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a solitary man
Who had been left without a plan
'Till I met you

I never thought I'd meet a girl
Who could overturn my world
'Till I met you

I was so alone the years that I was on my own
I was so alone
Without you

I saw you gliding through the air
Like an answer to a prayer
When I met you

I asked if you would like to dance
I'm so glad I took that chance
When I met you

I was so alone the years that I was on my own
I was so alone
Without you
Now I know you love me
Now I know you care
I won't dance with another
Since I saw you standing there

I was so alone the years that I was on my own
I was so alone
Without you
Now I know you love me
Now I know understand
I won't dance with another
Since the day I held your hand

I live my life now without fear
I'm just happy to be here
Since I met you

I love you more than I can say
Every day's a holiday
Since I met you

I was so alone the years that I was on my own
I was so alone
Without you

I was so alone the years that I was on my own
I was so alone
Without you

Without you.

Without you.
Without you.

Overall Meaning

The song "Without You" by Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives is a touching and heartfelt tribute to finding love and companionship after years of feeling alone. The lyrics describe the singer's life as a solitary man with no direction or purpose until the day he met someone who would change everything. In the first verse, he says that he had been left without a plan before meeting the person who would change his life. The second verse describes how he never thought he would meet someone who could turn his world around until he met this person. The chorus repeats the phrase "I was so alone without you" to emphasize how much their presence means to him.

The third verse reveals the moment when the singer saw this person for the first time and how they seemed like an answer to a prayer. The fourth verse describes how he asked this person to dance and how glad he is that he took that chance. The second half of the song repeats the chorus and then adds a bridge where the singer declares his love and gratitude for this person.

Line by Line Meaning

I was a solitary man
I was a person who kept to myself

Who had been left without a plan
Who had lost direction in life

'Till I met you
Until I found you

I never thought I'd meet a girl
I never expected to find someone special

Who could overturn my world
Who could make me feel so happy

I was so alone the years that I was on my own
I felt lonely and lost during the years I spent by myself

Without you
Without someone like you in my life

I saw you gliding through the air
I saw you moving gracefully

Like an answer to a prayer
Like my wish had been granted

When I met you
The moment I got to know you

I asked if you would like to dance
I invited you to dance with me
