Well, what am I longing for each lonely night?
To feel you lips close to mine and hold you tight
Well, you'll be my only love my whole life through
Baby, Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do

Want you close to me, that's all I know.
I want you here by my side,
cos my darling I love you, love you,
love you so.

What am I longing for, if not for you?
What am I living for, if not for you?
I said, what am I living for, if not for you baby?
Yeah.
