I  don't know what I was thinking
'Til  I was thinking of you
 I don't remember a thing before I opened  my eyes
 And you came  into view
I  don't know what I was doing
When  there was nothing to do
 Must've been waiting for someone, baby
Now  I can see - I was waiting  for you
 I'd give  up my sight just to see  you
 I'd beg,  I would borrow and steal
 I'd cut  off my hands just to touch  you
 And tear  out my heart so you'd know how I feel
 There's nowhere  that I wouldn't follow
 There's nothing  that I wouldn't do
 'Cause I wouldn't  wanna be me
 If I didn't  have you
Driving  myself to distraction
Until  you got in my way
 I was just whistling Dixie 'til you  struck up the band
 And they started  to play
I  don't know how I was living
Until  you came in my life
 I always knew there was something wrong
 Then you  came along
 Baby, you  made it right
 I'd give  up my sight just to see  you
 I'd beg,  I would borrow and steal
 I'd cut  off my hands just to touch  you
 And tear  out my heart so you'd know how I feel
 There's nowhere  that I wouldn't follow
 There's nothing  that I wouldn't do
 'Cause I wouldn't  wanna be me
 If I didn't  have you
 
I  was alone in the silence
'Til  I was hearing your voice
 I couldn't see my way clear until you parted  the clouds
 And you gave  me a choice
I  couldn't pick up the pieces
'Til  I was falling apart
 I didn't know I was bleeding
 'Til your love  fixed this hole, baby, here  in my heart
 I'd give  up my sight just to see  you
 I'd beg,  I would borrow and steal
 I'd cut  off my hands just to touch  you
 And tear  out my heart so you'd know how I feel
 There's  nowhere that I wouldn't follow
 There's no  place that I'd rather be
 This life  without you would be hollow
 This love  is a gift, and you gave it to me
All  that I am, you have made  me
 And baby,  I know that it's true
 I'd give  it all up in a heartbeat
 Just to spend  every moment with you
 There's no  place that I wouldn't follow
 There's nothing  that I wouldn't do
 'Cause I wouldn't  wanna be me
 If I didn't have you
 If I didn't have you
 If I didn't have you
