Song lyrics

Everyday girl, I wake up and pray

That you'll come back home

And don't take to long

'Cause since you've been gone

Everything's gone a bit wrong

I wish you were here

Holding me near


You know I'd go out of my mind

If you ever left my love behind

So I'm begging you please

(So I'm begging, begging you please)

Bring your sweet love back to me

(Please come back to me)


If I don't have you (don't have you)

To hold on to (to hold on to)

I can't go on in this world alone

Baby, it's true (baby, it's true if I don't have you)

If you said goodbye (you said goodbye)

Girl, I would die (girl, I would die)

I'm a star with no light, a day with no night

If I don't have you


Late at night, I reach to hold you tight

But you're not there

(You're just not there, baby)

I know you still care

(I know you still care)

And oh, how I miss your soft and love, lovely kiss

You'd give to me (to me)

So tenderly


We used to feel

That time would stand still

When I see you baby, it will

So hurry home

(So hurry, come home to me)

You know your man needs you so

(Oh girl, can't you see)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh


If I don't have you (don't have you)

To hold on to (to hold on to)

I can't go on in this world alone

Baby, it's true (baby, it's true if I don't have you)

If you said goodbye (you said goodbye)

Girl, I would die (girl, I would die)

I'm a star with no light, a day with no night

If I don't have you


If I don't have you (don't have you)

(If I don't have you, no-no)

To hold on to (to hold on to)

(I just wanna hold you)

I can't go on (can't go on) in this world alone

Baby, it's true (baby, it's true if I don't have you)

(Baby-baby) If you said goodbye (you said goodbye)

(If you said goodbye, I would die)

Girl, I would die (girl, I would die)

(I would die if I don't have you)

I'm a star with no light (no light), a day with no night

If I don't have you


You know I'll go crazy without you (if I don't have you)

(If I don't have you, no-no)

To hold on to (to hold on to)

(I just wanna hold you)

I can't go on (can't go on) in this world alone (in this world alone)

Baby, it's true (baby, it's true if I don't have you)

If you said goodbye (you said goodbye)

(If you said goodbye, I would die)

Girl, I would die (girl, I would die)

(Girl, I know I would die)


I'm a star with no light

A day with no night

If I don't have you
