Without You

[Verse 1] Just when I'm ready to throw in my hand Just when the best things in life are gone I look into your eyes [Chorus] There's no smoke without fire You're exactly who I want to be with Without you What would I do? [Verse 2] And when I'm willing to call it a day Just when I won't take another chance I hold your hand [Chorus] There's no smoke without fire Woman, I love you Without you What would I do?
