Ooh-ooh
Ooh... (hey-hey)
Yeah... (hey-hey)
What is love if it's not with you?
I know when you're alone, you feel it too
In your arms is where I long to be
'Cause being with you gives me sanity (hey!)
Oh-oh... listen to me, darling
I wake up every morning thinkin' 'bout the way you feel
Oh-oh... I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party if you're not around?
Listen to me now
What good is love... (is it a crazy love?)
If it's not your love...? (is it amazing love?)
What good is love... (am I your baby love?)
If it's not your love...? (is it a crazy love?)
What's a song if you can't hear it too? (hey-hey)
Can't imagine dancing without you (hey-hey)
A shooting star ain't really nothin' to see (hey-hey)
If you're not right here standing next to me (hey-hey)
Oh-oh... listen to me, darling
I wake up every morning thinkin' 'bout the way you feel
Oh-oh... I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party if you're not around?
