Without You in My Life
Tyrone Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I, I'm a happy man
But if the day ever came
When I couldn't call out your name
Oh, my life would never be the same
Can you hear me, baby
My life would never be the same
Oh, baby, you see because
Without you, baby
Who made me what I am
And without your love, baby
My life wouldn't be worth a dime
I said without you in my life
It would never be the same
Can you hear me, baby
I swear before God
My life would never be the same
Woo ee, lord, have mercy
Now every man I know
Has something that he loves
And he wouldn't put nothing
In this big wide world above
You see, some men love cars, yeah
Some men love diamond rings
Some men love a whole lotta women
Others love fancy flashy things
But me, if I had just one wish
Ooh, my dear, it would be just this
If I could live for a thousand years
I'd spend all those years with you
Now can you hear me, baby
Cause without you in life
Girl, I just wouldn't know what to do
Now can you hear me, baby
We've been together so long
You been my mother
You been my sister
You been my brother
Oh, you been my father too

Tyrone Davis is the perfect man of my dreams, my secret admirer and a very good friend of mine and I love this song In The Mood and it's one of the sexiest quiet storm bedroom ballads of all time. That song makes me want to get a little sexy tonight and I like to slow dance to the slinky and seductive melody by the romantic candle lights that ignites the sensual seduction in the nighttime. And best of all, I like to feel the sultry heat of the fire burning very hot with Tyrone Davis and my body has been yearning for love and smooth passion at the stroke of twelve at midnight. RIP Tyrone Davis. Keep on singing up there in soul heaven with the late Luther Vandross, Freddie King, Jackie Wilson, Major Harris and of course, the late
R&B/soul star Teddy Pendergrass.
