And Mama told me
If I want her I gotta take it slow
You just can't tell her
You gotta find other ways to let her know
But I don't understand this game
This is so new to me
I wanna tell her
I wanna take her in my arms

Give her time
(Give her time)
And maybe one day she'll come around
And see the love I am offering
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
(Uh hey hey)
Heaven knows everyday I pray
That someday she will belong to me
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
(Without the girl)

She is my sunshine
But her heart belongs to another man, mmm
She looks right through me
She only ever thought of us as friends
But I'll keep holding back my heart
I will not let her see
I've gotta bide my time
Until the day she comes to me

Give her time
(Time)
And maybe one day she'll come around
(Maybe she'll come around)
And see the love I'm offering
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
Heaven knows, everyday I pray
(Heaven knows everyday, ahh)
Someday she will belong to me
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl

(Give her time)
Give her time
Maybe one day she'll come around
(Maybe she'll come around)
And see the love I'm offering
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
(I don't wanna live without the girl, eh eh)
Heaven knows, everyday I pray
(Heaven knows everyday, hey hey)
Someday she will belong to me
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
(Without the girl)

Huhhh
Huhhh, without the girl
Hmmm, without the girl
Without the girl
No no no no no no no no no no no no
Without the girl
Hmm hmm hmm
Without girl
Without the girl
Heaven knows everyday
I don't wanna live without the girl
Eh eh
Hoo, hoo hoo
Without the girl
Without the girl
