Lyrics
With Or Without You
Words and Music
Steve Taylor
You showed up to say I do
Till death do us part, or long as you wanted to
When the party was done, I guess so were you
But I?m not hanging round, feeling down, lost without you
I guess I should think about where I went wrong
Or I could just say right now that it was you all along
When things got tough, you took the easy way
With all your talking, in the end we had nothing to say
The sun?ll come up every morning, even with you gone
I should be crying and moaning, and sleeping all alone
But I?m taking my time, instead of losing my mind
And I know just what to do,
I?m going to pick me up, dust me off, move it on - with or without you
Well I used to think of only you, till I just realized baby so do you
Yes, I?m doing fine, you know it?s true
And honey, I?m not hanging round, feeling down, lost without you
I?m going to pick me up, dust me off, and move it on - with or without you
