Hall & Oates

I let you escape, slip through my fingers
We made our mistakes, but memories linger
Each time I turn a corner I swear I see your face
But I'm standing here alone in the wonder
What I really needed, what made me run away?
Was it just somebody's spell I was under

We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind
And life's too short to be living without you

You laughed at my jokes, broke down my defenses
It's like my heart just awoke, and brought back my senses
I've got my motor running, it's all that I can do
Cause every road I'm taking, is leading back to you

We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind
And life's too short to be living without you
And life's too short
And life's too short

I give in I can't go it alone, yeah I'm done now I know that you're gone
I need someone to save me and life's too short, too short

I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short to be living without you
Life's too short

I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short can't be living without you
Life's too short

I give in I can't go it alone
I can live without you
Life's too short

I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short to be living without you

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
