[Chorus]
If i can't if i can't
Have you
Then baby i don't wanna be
With no-one else
If i can't if i can't
Have you
Then baby i would rather be

By myself

[Verse 1]
She is the meaning of beauty
Her spirit and her style consumes me
From the very first time i saw her
She captured me within her power

[Pre-chorus]
All it took was just one look look
Before i knew it i was hooked hooked
Put my loving to the test test
And now i must confess

All it took was just one look look
Before i knew it i was hooked hooked
Put my loving to the test test
And now i must confess

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Woman i would die without you
Cause i love everything about you
Lady you are my very existence
And girl i say this with persistence
Cause i know

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus 3x]
