I've heard it said and I believe if a man has nothing else

If a man has only love he has all he needs

Well I got love enough for two the only thing

That I need now the only thing that I don't have is you

[Chorus:]

And I can see it perfect in my mind all the time

That's what keeps me holdin' on pretending you're still mine

I wouldn't miss you half as much I could make it on my own

If a man could live on love alone

Sure I like my job 'course I love my friends but what I'd really love

Is wakin' up one day to find we've always had what should have been

'cause all the feelins' there god I miss your touch is wanting you

And needing you here with me really askin' all that much

Repeat chorus and end

If a man could live on love alone
