WHAT AM I LIVING FOR
Chuck Willis
Words and music by Fred Jay and Art Harris

What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
oh nobody else, nobody else will do

What am I longing for each lonely night,
To feel your lips to mine, to hold you tight
You'll be the only girl my whole life through,
Oh nobody else, nobody else will do

I want you close to me that's all I know,
I want you all the time because darling I love you so

What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
What am I living for if not for you,
Baby nobody else, nobody else will do

What am I living for if not for you,
Darling nobody else, nobody else will do
nobody else, nobody else will do

1. sounds kinda sad.

[elshiva]

2. It's not sad the way Willis sings it, but it's sad to me.

[Danger Mouse]

3. kinda what i figured.

:hug:
i know the feeling.

4. "She didn't pass away, she just passed me by..."

That kind of feeling. We were so close to something actually happening and I screwed it up.

[Danger Mouse]

5. is it beyond all hope?

[elshiva]

6. It's a long complicated story and it happened over ten years

ago, but it was short and intense. We came so close to being intimate.

[Danger Mouse]

7. hmm...so, is it the past coming back to haunt you?

[elshiva]

8. Yes, because all I have is the past. She is the closest I ever

had to having a girlfriend. "The taste of love is worse than none at all." -Smokey Robinson
