I Can't Live With You Lyrics
I can't live with you
But I can't live without you
I can't let you stay
But I can't live if you go away
I don't know just how it goes
Al I know is I can't live with you
I'm having a hard time
I'm walking a fine line
Between hope and despair
You may think that I don't care -
But I travelled a long road to
Get a hold of my sorrow
I tried to catch a dream
But nothing's what it seems
Love is saying baby it's all right
When deep inside you're really petrified
Love turns to hater
On this escalator
I can't live with you
But I can't live without you
I can't breathe - if you stay
But I can't bear you to go away
I don't know what time it is
All I know is I can't live with you
We're stuck in a bad polace
We're trapped in a rat race
And we can't escape
Maybe there's been some mistake
We're trying to make a high score
We're walking through a closed door
And nobody's winning -
We're just sinning against ourselves
Hold on baby tell me it's all right
Anger's breaking from the hurt inside
Passions screaming hotter
Doin' what we gotta do - yeah
I can't live with you, I can't live with you
I can't live, I can't live
I can't, I can't live with you
But baby I'll never ever leave you
I can't live with you
But I can't live without you -
Cause I'm in love with you
And everything about you
I can't live with you
No I just can't live, I just can't live,
I can't live with you,
And I can't live without you
Through the madness, through the tears
We've still got each other
For a million years
But I can't live without you
I can't let you stay
But I can't live if you go away
I don't know just how it goes
Al I know is I can't live with you
I'm having a hard time
I'm walking a fine line
Between hope and despair
You may think that I don't care -
But I travelled a long road to
Get a hold of my sorrow
I tried to catch a dream
But nothing's what it seems
Love is saying baby it's all right
When deep inside you're really petrified
Love turns to hater
On this escalator
I can't live with you
But I can't live without you
I can't breathe - if you stay
But I can't bear you to go away
I don't know what time it is
All I know is I can't live with you
We're stuck in a bad polace
We're trapped in a rat race
And we can't escape
Maybe there's been some mistake
We're trying to make a high score
We're walking through a closed door
And nobody's winning -
We're just sinning against ourselves
Hold on baby tell me it's all right
Anger's breaking from the hurt inside
Passions screaming hotter
Doin' what we gotta do - yeah
I can't live with you, I can't live with you
I can't live, I can't live
I can't, I can't live with you
But baby I'll never ever leave you
I can't live with you
But I can't live without you -
Cause I'm in love with you
And everything about you
I can't live with you
No I just can't live, I just can't live,
I can't live with you,
And I can't live without you
Through the madness, through the tears
We've still got each other
For a million years

I love the way he sings "Maybe there's been some mistake."
Wot, no comments? Well, the lyrics are pretty obvious. I prefer the intro to this song on the album version, but I prefer the rest of the song on the Queen Rocks compilation. Wish I could swap the pieces around...
You should compare the way that freddie sings on "A Kind Of Magic" album and on "Innuendo". He definetly sings more cleanly on "Innuendo".
That's odd...I always thought songs had stanzas.
I loved this song when I was younger, but lately have become less fond of it. I do love the message, it's very real and relatable. The album doesn't credit any one member for the writing of this song, but if I had to guess, it just drips of Brian May.
I love this song lyrically, but I feel that musically, some potential was left unfufilled.
For me, this is probably the catchiest song on Innuendo. To be fair, I haven't given it a thorough listen and have become accustomed to the singles to the point where i appreciate them less. But what a great song. Freddie's vocals are excellent. And as far as I know, Brian pretty much wrote this track.
Very great vocals.
Freddy is the greatest singer!! The outro is WOW!!
