[Verse 1: Tim Young (as Barboltian)]
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 leavin', someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Young]
So tell me all about it, tell me about the plans you're makin'
Oh, tell me one thing more before I go

[Chorus: Tim Young]
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?
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gonе?

[Verse 2: Michael Bolton]
Too proud for cryin', didn't come here to brеak down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you when I built my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends?

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Bolton]
Now I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin', oh
Even now, it's more than I can take
[Chorus: Michael Bolton & Tim Young]
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 livin' for is gone?

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Young & Michael Bolton]
I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Oh, now that your dream has come true

[Chorus: Michael Bolton & Tim Young, Both]
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you (How am I supposed to live?)
Now that I've been lovin' you so long? (So long)
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone?
