laura branigan - how am i supposed to live without you lyrics

i could hardly believe it
when i heard the news today
i had to come and get it straight from you
they said you were leaving
someone's swept your heart away
from the look upon your face
i see it's true
so tell me all about it
tell me 'bout the plans you're making
then tell me one thing more before i go

tell me how am i supposed to live without you
now that i've been loving you so long
how am i supposed to live without you
and how am i supposed to carry on
when all that i've been living for is gone

didn't come here for crying
didn't come here to break down
it's just a dream of mine
is coming to an end
and how can i blame you
when i build my world around
the hope that one day
we'd be so much more than friends
and i don't want to know
the price i'm gonna pay for dreaming
i need you now
it's more than i can take

tell me how am i supposed to live without you
now that i've been loving you so long
how am i supposed to live without you
and how am i supposed to carry on
when all that i've been living for is gone

[instrumental interlude]

and i don't want to know
the price i'm gonna pay for dreaming
now that your dream has come true

tell me how am i supposed to live without you
now that i've been loving you so long
how am i supposed to live without you
and how am i supposed to carry on
when all that i've been living for is gone
without you
after i've been loving you so long
how am i supposed to live without you
and how am i supposed to carry on
