Verse:
I have my start but I never have begun
because without you my life is unsung
I have my start but I don't have a part
because without you only breaks my heart
Chorus:
Because you don't love me yet, you don't love me yet
I just would forget because you don't love me

You don't love me yet
I just would forget
because you don't love me yet
Verse:
To be or not to be
that's the question unceasingly
but without you I would know to be is to be
because without you I'm not a king
because without you it would never do
because I can't think what life would be like without you

Because you don't love me yet, you don't love me yet
I just would forget because you don't love me
you don't love me yet
