(rhythmic music)
♪ Let's do it, baby ♪
♪ Let's do it, baby ♪
♪ Let's do it, do it ♪
♪ Even if you were a million miles away ♪
♪ I can 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 ♪
♪ Telling me, touch me, feel me ♪
♪ And all the time, you were telling me lies ♪
♪ 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 ♪
♪ Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart ♪
♪ Well you could try sleeping in my bed ♪
♪ Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you ♪
♪ You wore the crown, you made my body feel heaven-bound ♪
♪ Why don't you hold me, need me ♪
♪ I thought you told me, you'd never leave me ♪
♪ Looking in the sky I could see your face ♪
♪ Then I knew right where I fit in ♪
♪ Take me, make me ♪
♪ You know that I'll always be in love with you ♪
♪ Right 'til the end ♪
♪ 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 ♪
♪ Anybody could've told you right from the start ♪
♪ It's 'bout to fall apart ♪
♪ So rather than hold on to a broken dream ♪
♪ I'll 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 ♪
♪ 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 ♪
♪ Oh, hold on ♪
♪ I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had ♪
♪ Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you ♪
♪ Oh, Lord ♪
♪ Have you ever tried, have you ever ♪
♪ Living without my love ♪
♪ Have you ever tried, have you ever tried ♪
♪ La la la la la la la la ♪
♪ La la la la la la la la ♪
♪ La la la la la la la la ♪
