Be Without You -- Mary J. Blige

Chemistry was crazy from the get-go Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase Said we can’t see that Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that It’s so true that We’ve been through it 
We got real sh See baby we been...

(**) Too strong for too long And I’ll be waiting up until you get home 
Anybody who’s ever loved, ya know just what I feel Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it Call the radio if you just can’t be without your baby

I got a question for ya See I already know the answer But still I wanna ask you Would you lie? Make me cry Do somethin’ behind my back and then try to cover it up Well, neither would I, baby My love is only your love (yes)
I’ll be faithful I’m for real And with us you’ll always know the deal
We’ve been...

(**)

See this is real talk I’m always stay Good or bad Right or wrong 
Now if you’re down on love or don’t believe This ain’t for you And if you got it deep in your heart And deep down you know that it’s true 
Well, let me see you put your hands up Fellas tell your lady she’s the one 
Put your hands up Ladies let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him We’ve been...

(**)  


 wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you


This was the first single from The Breakthrough. The song examines a relationship where the couple is trying to decide if they want to stay together, with Blige urging them to appreciate their blessings.      (SONGFACTS)
