What Would I Do Without You Lyrics by Ian Hunter

Defiance Part 2: Fiction

2024

[Verse 1]
The longer we go on, the better it gets
What would I do without you?
You are my light, my cause and effect
What would I do without you?
I was down in the Village with Overend one night
You were the waitress and my tip was light
You told me we're together, it was love at first sight
What would I do without you, girl?
What would I do without you?
[Verse 2]
The longer we go on, the closer we seem
What would I do without you?
I could never escape the things in my dreams
What would I do without you?
There wasn't an organ, there wasn't an aisle
There wasn't an Elvis to witness the vows
But I had a smile on as wide as the Nile
What would I do without you, girl?
What would I do without you?
[Bridge]
What would I do without you by my side?
I'd be falling
What would I do without you in my life?
I'd be bawling
[Verse 3]
The longer we go on, the deeper it gets
What would I do without you?
We crossed the Rubicon, the day has been set
What would I do without you?
Put out your love and the power it brings
How can I keep on imagining things?
I'm gonna stop now 'cause I'm making you cringe
What would I do without you, girl?
What would I do without you?
[Outro]
I know this was corny but I know this is true
You are my lifeline, yeah, you got us through
And I gotta give credit where credit is due
What would I do without you, girl?
What would I do without you, girl?
What would I do without you?
