Nikka Costa Without Love Lyrics

A flame can put a light in your heart
Burn you just the same
You gamble any price at the start
But in the end the game

Leaves you cold and alone
While you wait by the phone without love

You can count on many things in your life
You can count the times you choose, yeah
You can try and try once more to make things right
But in the end you'll lose

When you give everything
Just get heartache and pain again

Without love you'll never catch me cryin'
Without love I'd never feel like dyin'
I'd have blue skies and dry eyes, I wouldn't miss a thing
Without love I have everything but you

For everyone who's been in love before
I don't need to explain, no
'Cause when you hear that knock upon your door
You just can't open it again

'Cause you finally moved on
You're better off on your own without love Without love you'll never catch me down
Without love no tears would hit the ground
I'd have sunshine, I'd be fine, I wouldn't miss a thing
Without love I'd have everything but you
Without love I'd have everything but you

When you give everything
Just get heartache and pain
'Cause you finally moved on
You're better off on your own without love

You'll never catch me cryin'
Without love I'd never feel like dyin'
I'd have blue skies and dry eyes, I wouldn't miss a thing
Without love I'd have everything but you

You'd never catch me down
Without love no tears would hit the ground
I'd have sunshine, I'd be fine, I wouldn't miss a thing
Without love I'd have everything but you

Yes I would, yes I would
I'd have everything but you
