The One I Can't Live Without

(album: We Only Make Believe - 1971)

You say I shouldn't be here it's the same thing every night
You say I should go home to her what we're doing just ain't right
It's true she's there waiting and wondering there's no doubt
But she's the one you live with and you're the one I can't live without

She's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without
And she's the one you dream with but you're the one I dream about
They say I'm breaking up your home it's not a home it's just a house
She's still the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without

If I knew you only lived there and your love for me was true
But how can I be certain you're not making me a fool
Surely you must kissing who keep proof from finding out
But she's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without

She's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without
And she's the one you dream with but you're the one I dream about
They say I'm breaking up your home it's not a home it's just a house
She's still the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without
