to be lived with you, babe,
that s what i want oh, was to be
living and loving you.

there s a way, oh everybody say

but what good, what good,
honey, what good could it ever bring
cause i ain t got you with my love
and i can t find you babe, no i can t.

you don t know, you don t know what it s like,
no you don t, honey no you don t know,
you don t know what it s like
to love anybody.
oh honey, i wanna talk about love
and trying to hold somebody
the way i love you babe,
and i ve been loving you babe.

in my brain, oh i can see your face again,
i know my frame of mind, yeah.
but nobody, nobody has to ever be so blind,
honey, like i did, i know i was blind,

oh but i m just a girl,

but what good, what good,
honey, what good could ever do
cause i ain t got you, that s all i ve ever wanted,
and i ain t got you, babe, oh but i ve been looking round.
but you don t know, you don t know what it s like,
no you don t, no, no, no, you don t know,
honey, you don t know what it s like
oh to love anybody.
oh honey i wanna talk about
trying to hold somebody when you re lonely
the way i loved you, baby,
and i just want you to know i tried.

oh i know that there s a way
cause everybody came to me one time and said,
honey, you can do anything,
every little thing, and i think i can.
oh, but what good, what good,
honey, what awfully good can it ever, ever bring,
cause i can t find you with my love,
and i can t find you babe, oh anywhere.

oh, but you don t know,
you don t know what it s like,
no you don t and you never ever, ever did.

you don t know what it s like
oh to love anybody.
oh honey i wanna talk about trying to hold you.

oh baby, baby, baby, yeah,
but you don t know,
you don t know what it s like,
and you never ever, ever did,
i said i tried to throw my love around you
and i tried to help you darling.
but you never ever, no you never ever,
no you never ever, no you never ever,
i know that you know that
no you never ever, ever, ever,
oh let me throw my love,
throw my love all around you, yeah.
