[Intro]
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all of the parties every night
They're not enough
You want something more
I want you
I want you
[Verse 1]
I find you when I want you
And lose you late at night
The woman in me shouts out
The man in me just smiles
[Pre-Chorus]
I may not always love you
You may not care
But if we should live together
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
[Chorus]
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
(Baby)
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
[Verse 2]
We'll find a home together
And sleep there every night
There's a time and place for most things
This time we'll get it right
[Pre-Chorus]
You may not always love me
I may not care
But intuition tells me, baby
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
[Chorus]
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
(Baby)
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
[Bridge]
Why don't we live together?
(Together)
Together
Together
(Together, baby)
Why don't we live together?
(Together)
Together
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
(Baby)
(Baby, baby)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You may not always love me
I may not care
But intuition tells me, baby
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
[Chorus]
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
(Baby, baby)
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
[Outro]
Why don't we live together?
(Together)
Together?
(Together, baby)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
(Baby, ooh, baby
Saying why don't we live together)
You won't believe until the day you try
(Baby, baby)
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
Why don't we live together?
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby)
Without the love, love you feel inside
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all of the parties every night
They're not enough
You want something more
I want you
I want you
[Verse 1]
I find you when I want you
And lose you late at night
The woman in me shouts out
The man in me just smiles
[Pre-Chorus]
I may not always love you
You may not care
But if we should live together
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
[Chorus]
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
(Baby)
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
[Verse 2]
We'll find a home together
And sleep there every night
There's a time and place for most things
This time we'll get it right
[Pre-Chorus]
You may not always love me
I may not care
But intuition tells me, baby
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
[Chorus]
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
(Baby)
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
[Bridge]
Why don't we live together?
(Together)
Together
Together
(Together, baby)
Why don't we live together?
(Together)
Together
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
(Baby)
(Baby, baby)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You may not always love me
I may not care
But intuition tells me, baby
There's something we could share

[Chorus]
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try

Why don't we live together?
(Baby, baby)
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
[Outro]
Why don't we live together?
(Together)
Together?
(Together, baby)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
(Baby, ooh, baby
Saying why don't we live together)
You won't believe until the day you try
(Baby, baby)
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
Why don't we live together?
(Baby)
Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby)
Without the love, love you feel inside
