Without You Lyrics
Just when I'm ready to throw in my hand
Just when the best things in life
are gone
I look into my eyes
There's no smoke without fire
You're exactly who I want to be with
Without you
What could I do?
And when I'm willing to call it a day
Just when I won't take another chance
I hold your hand
There's no smoke without fire
Woman I love you
Without you
What would I do?
Just when the best things in life
are gone
I look into my eyes
You're exactly who I want to be with
Without you
What could I do?
Just when I won't take another chance
I hold your hand
Woman I love you
Without you
What would I do?

Some say that Let's Dance is Bowie's most "heterosexual" album. This is because the cover portrays him in a "masculine" boxing pose in boxing gloves, and there are few homoerotic or androgynist references in the lyrics. But bowie has said before that he was a "closeted" straight man. It's funny in our culture that it's even possible to be a closeted straight man. Anyway, because of this comment from the artist, I think that Let's Dance is an album he made when he had reached a certain level of self-esteem, because there is such little acting on it. He has often said he felt more like an actor portraying a singer than a singer that added acting into the performance. I think that Let's Dance was an album made when he reached a certain level of honesty that he had not attained before. He had seen what "fame" was and abandoned it for a simpler album. And as much as I LOVE the theatrics of the Ziggy Stardust era, I find the non intellectual emotionalism of the Let's Dance album refreshing.
Great underrated song. Love it when david bowie hits the high notes.
Easily the best song on "Let's Dance".
