If I don't have you
Then how am I supposed to get it on?
It's been a long cold war in a lonely cell
But I'm still hanging on
If I don't have you
Then how am I supposed to breathe again?
In this lonely cell I will wait for you
Till my time has come
One life, one token, one change
One film, I've got you in like that, like
Life's changed, I know how it goes
If it turns, they will not be the same
I'm forever fallin' in
Ain't no one left for you
I didn't know love at all till I physically touched you
How can I just throw you away?
My God, I'm insane, I let you run away for good
Now how am I supposed to get it all?
It's been five years runnin' scared weigh upon my soul, oh
If I don't have you
Then how am I supposed to get it on?
It's been a long cold war in a lonely cell
But I'm still hanging on
If I don't have you
Then how am I supposed to breathe again?
In this lonely cell I will wait for you
Till my time has come
I tried to live here for a while
Picture you dead, with another guy
But where you go I will follow your footsteps
Through eternal flame
If I don't have you
Then how am I supposed to get it on?
It's been a long cold war in a lonely cell
But I'm still hanging on
If I don't have you
Then how am I supposed to breathe again?
In this lonely cell I will wait for you
Till my time has come
If I don't have you
