Can't Live Without You
Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stand in front of the band with all those scarves in your hands
I see you play imaginary guitars
You people shaking your heads
Right till the end of the set
You really turn me on wherever we are
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Put your hands in the air so I can see you are there
I want to see all your lights shining on
Want you to stand up and dance gonna leave you no chance
To take a breath between each single song
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Stand up and shout
We're ready to rock, we're ready to roll
Stand up and shout
Are you ready, are you ready
Come on and get it
Stand up and shout
We're ready to rock, we're ready to roll
Stand up and shout
Are you ready, are you ready
Come on and get it
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
(Can't live, can't live without you)
