Be Without You (Award Performance Version)

You know this song means a lot to me
There was a time in my life
Where I couldn't love myself enough
To love anybody
But now I'm in love
And for Mary J Blige that's real
You know relationships are really hard to keep together
But let me explain to y'all what happened

Chemistry was crazy, from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
People swore it off as a phase
Said we can't see that
Now from top to bottom

They see that we did that (yes)
It's so true that (yes)
We've been through it (yes)
We got real (yes)
See baby we been

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get
Home ('cause I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)

Do somethin' behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
I'll be faithful (yes)
I'm for real (yes)
And with us you'll always know the deal
We've been

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get
Home ('cause I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

See this is real talk
I'm always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day everyday)
Now if you're down on love or don't believe
This ain't for you (no, this ain't for you)
And if you got it deep in your heart

And deep down you know that it's true (come on, come on, come on)
Well, let me see you put your hands up (hands up)
Fellas tell your lady she's the one
(Fellas tell your lady she's the one, oh)
Put your hands up (hands up)
Ladies let him know he's got your love

Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby

Remember, you said I was the one
For you
Remember I believed in what
You said was true
Remember, remember
I'm telling you, telling you, oh, oh

Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Stay, stay, stay, stay
I can't be without you
