I thought the world around me Crumbled into pieces You were the one to find me The only one to see it Everybody needs a lifeline Everybody needs a lifeline Without you I'd be in the throes Without you I'd go down in smoke Without all your lovin' I'd have nothin' It's true What would I do without you? My heart was barely beating You held my body burning Now you're the only reason The tides are finally turning Everybody needs a lifeline Everybody needs a lifeline Without you I'd be in the throes Without you I'd go down in smoke Without all your lovin' I'd have nothin' It's true What would I do without you? I'd be waiting Sinking down, down down Without you I'd be in the throes Without you I'd go down in smoke Without all your lovin' I'd have nothin' It's true What would I do without you?
