Curtis Mayfield
Can’t Do Without Love
Listen, everybody
To what I'm gonna say
Girls just won’t let me
But I'm gonna find a way
'Cause I don’t wanna do
Don't wanna do without love
And if I had it my way
I'd surely have her

'Cause, baby, here's what I gotta say
Don't wanna get used to bein' by myself
I made up my mind about it, baby
And I can't live without it, no, girl

You can do it
Put your mind and body to it, oh...
You can do it
Can’t do without love
Put your mind and body to it
I never will

You look outside your window
And see your favorite shade
And all that glitters isn’t gold
I'll be so warm and tender
Girl, we’ll have it made
I'm hoping for the day
You see things my way
You can do it
Put your mind and body to it
I don't wanna do without love
You can do it
I never will
Put your mind and body to it
Just don't wanna do without love

So, baby, here’s what I gotta say
I don't wanna get used to bein' by myself
I made up my mind about it, baby
And I can't live without it, no, girl

Don't want nobody's part-time love
You've got to give it all you've got
'Cause you know I need a lot
I don't want nobody's part-time love
You've got to give it all you've got
'Cause you know I need a lot

You can do it
Put your mind and body to it
I don't wanna do without love
You can do it
Put your mind and body to it
I don't wanna do without love
You can do it, ooh...
Put your mind and body to it
Can't do without love
You can do it
I never will
Put your mind and body to it
Do without love

You can do it
I don't wanna do without love
Put your mind and body to it
I never will
You can do it

You can do it
Can't do without love
Put your mind and body to it
I don't wanna do without love
You can do it, ooh...
Put your mind and body to it
I never will...
