[Verse 1]
I find myself in a strange situation
And I don't know how
What seemed to be an infatuation
Is so different now
I can't get by if we're not together
Ooh can't you see
Girl, I want you now and forever
Close to me

[Bridge]
I'm longing for the time
I'm longing for the day
Hoping that you will promise to be mine
And never go away

[Chorus]
I don't want to live without you[x2]
I could never live without you
Live without your love

[Verse 2]
I ask myself but there's no explanation
For the way I feel
I know I've reached the right destination
And I know it's real

[Bridge]
I'm longing for the time
I'm longing for the day
When I'll be giving you this heart of mine
Believe me when I say

[Chorus][x2]

[Bridge]
Now I don't want to live without you
I don't want to live without you
I could never be without you
Be without your love
I don't want to live without you
Live without your love[x2]
You see I'm lost without your love

[Outro]
Oh...oh
Without your love

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
