Me without you is like a sentence without a period
a pen with no ink, a brain that can't think
driven out of my mind but only you can steer it.

Me without you is like a chain missing a link
a lock with no key, a heart that doesn't bleed
if you keep killing my hopes, I'll soon be extinct.

Me without you is like looking and being unable to see
to listen and not to understand, to touch and not to grab
it's like not being able to spell L - O - V - E.

Me without you is like a sharp knife that doesn't stab
a gun with no bullet, clothes on a nudist
a black man catching a cab, a scientist without a lab

Me without you is like Einstein unable to split the atom
or like Elie Whitney lighting a candle in the dark
our love is universal like math, just imagine ....

Me without you is like a proton with a negative charge
like two opposite charges not causing attraction
If lovin' you is a crime, I plead guilty on every charge.
If lovin' you is a sin, God will never forgive me.
