Just Not Right
When I'm not with you,
I'm just a face in the crowd.
I whisper your name out loud
The long and empty night through.
When you're not here,
I hold the pillow close to me
Where your face use to be,
The scent of you is always near.
Chorus
------
Lord knows how hard it is without you.
You're every breath that I take,
My every pulse and heartbeat,
The every move that I make.
Why I wake up in the morning,
You're my every dream at night.
Baby without you I'm just not right.
Without you I'm just not right.
When I'm not with you,
I no longer feel that bliss,
Or the moisture of your kiss.
I get lost and I don't know what to do.
For when you're not around,
I miss your tenderness so fine,
When your lips are pressed to mine,
Oh, I miss that pleasant sighing sound.
Chorus
------
Lord knows how hard it is without you.
You're every breath that I take,
My every pulse and heartbeat,
The every move that I make.
Why I wake up in the morning,
You're my every dream at night.
Baby without you I'm just not right.
Without you I'm just not right.
When I'm not with you,
Your gentle fingers cannot trace
That wonderous path across my face
Where they have journied a time or two.
When you're not here
I struggle throughout the day.
The missing you won't go away.
Come and hug away my fear.
Chorus
------
Lord knows how hard it is without you.
You're every breath that I take,
My every pulse and heartbeat,
The every move that I make.
Why I wake up in the morning,
You're my every dream at night.
Baby without you I'm just not right.
Without you I'm just not right.
