Girl, I can't let you do this
Let you walk away
Girl, how can I live through this?
When you're all I wake up for each day, baby

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you, baby, what good am I?

I never had much going
But at least I had you
How can you walk out knowing
I ain't got nothing left if you do, baby?

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you, baby, what good am I?
Oh, what good am I?

Baby, I can't make it without you
And I'm, I'm telling you, honey
You're my reason for laughing, for crying
For living and for dying

Baby, I can't make it without you
Please, I'm begging you, baby
If you go, it will kill me, I swear it
Girl, I just can't bear it

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you, baby, what good am I?
What good am I?

Mm, mm, mm, mm (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, mm, mm, mm, mm (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
