Livin’ Not Lovin’ You Lyrics by Rhett Akins

Friday Night in Dixie

2002

[Verse 1]
I live my life
Dyin' to find someone like you
But I never dreamed
I'd come to need
Someone like I need you
Now I'm no longer Mister Independent
No longer needin' no one's help
I'm finally dependin' on someone besides myself
[Chorus]
I could go on livin'
And I'd go on lovin' you
Can't do one without the other
Girl I just discovered
Few things I can't do
I could go on breathin'
When you're the air I'm needin'
No I couldn't go on livin' not lovin' you
[Verse 2]
Who would have thought
I'd ever be caught fallin' in love
Now that you're here
Holdin' me near
I can't fall far enough
Like the nighttime depends on the sunset
Each new day depends on the dawn
Without you in my life
Girl I wouldn't last long
[Chorus]
I could go on livin'
And I'd go on lovin' you
Can't do one without the other
Girl I just discovered
Few things I can't do
I could go on breathin'
When you're the air I'm needin'
No I couldn't go on livin' not lovin' you
[Chorus]
I could go on livin'
And I'd go on lovin' you
Can't do one without the other
Girl I just discovered
Few things I can't do
I could go on breathin'
When you're the air I'm needin'
No I couldn't go on livin' not lovin' you
[Tag]
Girl I couldn't go on livin' not lovin' you
