Songwriter: Russel Kramer

Producer: Michael Sembello Richard Rudolph

[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant]
Would you love me
When nights are cold?
Would you love me
When I grow old?
Would you care
When living's not easy?
Take me by surprise
And say you're there

Would you love me?
Give me one more chance
Would you love me?
Try and understand
Would you share
A life that is music?
Show me in your eyes
That you'll stay with me tonight

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]
(I'm lost in love) I can't live without you
(I'm lost in love) All my dreams around you
I'm lost in love
And it's true
I can't live without you
Oh, no

[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]
Would you love me
When I'm in doubt?
Would you love me
Just to be around?
Would you share
My life that is music
Take me in your arms
And sing my melody

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]
(I'm lost in love) I can't live without you
(I'm lost in love) All my dreams around you
And I'm lost in love
And it's true
I can't live without you
Oh, no

[Bridge: Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]
(And I'm lost in love)
Say you really want me
Love is a passion
It just can't hide
(And I'm lost in love)
Time and again and it hurts me
You'll be my reason
For starting again (Again)

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]
(I'm lost in love) I can't live without you
(I'm lost in love) And all my dreams around you
(I'm lost in love) I can't live without you
(I'm lost in love) Baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'm lost in love) Baby, I can't live without you
(I'm lost in love)

New Edition

New Edition is a Boston-based R&B group that was seen as the inspiration of the boy bands that followed them during the 1980s and 1990s. The group initially consisted of Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They released their debut album Candy Girl in 1983 after being discovered by producer Maurice Starr. This album yielded the hits “Candy Girl,” “Popcorn Love,” and “Is This the End.” After a financial dispute, New Edition cut ties with Starr and released their second album New Edition in 1984, which features two of their biggest “Cool It Now” and “Mr. Telephone Man.” In November 1985, they released All for Love featuring the hits “Count Me Out” and “A Little Bit of Love (Is All It Takes)” and one month later released Christmas All Over the World.

Before the end of 1985, the group decided to vote Bobby Brown out of the group for his disruptive behavior. After their 1986 doo-wop cover album Under the Blue Moon, lead singer Ralph Tresvant was considering a solo career as the group’s direction was in question. In 1987, Johnny Gill was added to the group and the quintet went on to create their most popular album Heart Break with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in 1988. This album was released on June 20, 1988—the same day as Bobby Brown’s Don’t Be Cruel—and features two more of their biggest “If It Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain.”

In 1990, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Bell Biv Devoe all went on to have successful hits. Among these hits was the remix to BBD’s “Word to the Mutha,” which was the first song to feature all six members. After a hiatus, all six members came together in 1996 to create the album Home Again, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and was a multi-platinum success. After some friction on the Home Again tour, Bobby Brown decided to depart the group again. In 2004, after leaving their longtime label MCA Records, New Edition signed with Bad Boy Records and released the album One Love but they left Bad Boy a year later due to a lack of promotion. The group continues to tour together and sell out shows after 30 years in the business. The group was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 23, 2017—one day ahead of the BET premiere of their 3-night mini-series The New Edition Story.
