[English]

I still can't keep my love alive

Even though it hurts inside

Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on

I turn around and find you're gone

They tell me, "You have many others," ooh, ooh

But I just can't live without your love

And I don't care what the people say

I can't believe everything you put me through

Ooh-ooh, ooh

Only lovers can understand

How it hurts when you love a man

I'm in love, and it's tearing me apart

It's like an arrow through my heart

They told me, "You have many others," ooh, ooh

But I just can't live without your love

And I don't care what the people say

I can't believe everything you put me through
