I know, that i'll go crazy without you But without you is how i must go And i played a round of poker with three blind mice Took a bullet in my belly and i cheated death twice So i know, oh good lord i know All i really know Is that i'm fading, i'm fading away Fading, i'm fading away Fading, i'm fading away And i... Well i don't claim to know the meaning of a wife But i lost a lover who could've been my life before And i can't understand why you treat me so bad After all of the good times and smiles i had before I guess that was all before Yes that was all before... Is that i'm fading, i'm fading away Fading, i'm fading away Fading, i'm fading away And i... Know that these arms Will reach for you girl And i'll keep holdin' on, holdin' on to you Yah, i'll keep holding on, holdin' on to you Cause no matter where i go, no matter what i do I'm alone, i'm alone
