Girl, I can't let you do this
Let you walk away
Girl, how can I live through this?
When you're all I wake up for each day baby

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby what good am I?

I never had much going
But at least I had you
How can you walk out knowing
I ain't got nothing left if you do, baby

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby what good am I?
Oh, what good am I?

Baby, I can't make it without you
And I'm, I'm telling you honey
You're my reason for laughing, for crying
For living and for dying

Baby, I can't make it without you
Please, I'm begging you baby
If you go it will kill me, I swear it
Girl, I just can't bear it

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby what good am I?
What good am I?

Mmm
Ooh

The Righteous Brothers were a musical duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hailing from Orange County, California. They were originally members of The Paramours but began performing as a duo in 1962 after breaking off from the group.

Their first hit track was “You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feelin” but they released many other hits during their career.

The duo was active through the 1960s and 70s, and after a long split, they reunited in 1981 and performed up until Hatfield’s death in 2003. In 2016, Medley reformed the group with Bucky Heard.
