  • Our friends think we're opposites
    Falling in and out of love
    They've all said we'll never last
    Still we manage to stay together
    There's no easy explanation for it
    But whenever there's a problem
    We always work it out somehow
    Work it out somehow

    They said it wouldn't last
    We had to prove them wrong
    'Cause I've learned in the past
    That love would never do without you

    Other guys have tried before
    To replace you as my lover
    Never did I have a doubt
    Boy, it's you I can't do without
    I feel better when I have you near me
    'Cause no other love around
    Has quite the same ooh, ooh
    Like you do, do, do, do, babe

    They said it wouldn't last
    We had to prove them wrong
    'Cause I've learned in the past
    That love would never do without you

    Oh
    Do without you
    Love would never do without you (woo)
    Do without you

    Uh, uh, ah
    Uh, oh, oh
    Ooh, ooh, go on

    Love would never do (fine)
    Never do without you (oh yeah)
    Love would never do (fine)
    Never do without you (not for me)
    Love would never do (fine)
    Never do without you (oh yeah)
    Love would never do (fine)
    Never do without you (baby)
    Love would never do (fine)
    Never do without you (oh yeah)
    Love would never do (fine)
    Never do without you (baby)
    Love would never do (fine)
    Never do without you (oh)
    Love would never do (woo)
    Never do without you (sang)

    Love would never do (never do)
    Love would never do without you (ooh)
    Love would never do (never)
    Love would never do without you (ooh, yeah)
    Love would never do (ooh)
    Love would never do without you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

    What?
    They said it, they said it wouldn't last
    They said it, they said it wouldn't last (woo)
    They said it, they said it wouldn't last (hey, what do you want?)
    They said it wouldn't last (if you believe in love, say)

    Love would never do, love would never do without you
    Love would never do, love would never do without you

    They said it wouldn't last (hey)
    We had to prove them wrong
    'Cause I've learned in the past
    That love would never do without you
    We had to prove them wrong
    'Cause I've learned in the past
    That love would never do without you
    We had to prove them wrong
    'Cause I've learned in the past
    That love would never do without you
    Do without you

    They said it wouldn't
    They said it wouldn't
