[Intro] Let's do it, baby, let's do it, baby Let's do it, do it [Verse 1] Even if you were a million miles away I could still feel you in my bed Near me, touch me, feel me And even at the bottom of the sea I could still hear inside my head Tellin' me, touch me, feel me [Pre-Chorus] And all the time, you were tellin' me lies [Chorus] So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you [Post-Chorus] Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart? Well, you could try sleeping in my bed [Verse 2] Lonely, only nobody ever shut it down like you You wore the crown You made my body feel heaven bound Why don't you hold me? Near me, I thought you told me You'd never leave me Looking in the sky, I could see your face And I know right where I fit in Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love With you Right 'til the end Oh [Chorus] So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you [Bridge] Anybody could've told you right from the start It's 'bout to fall apart So rather than hold on to a broken dream Or just hold on to love And I could find a way to make it Don't hold on too tight I'll make it without you tonight [Chorus] So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you [Outro] Oh, Lord Have you ever tried sleepin' with a Without my love Have you ever tried, have you ever tried?
