(Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil)
 Girl, I can't let you do this
 Let you walk away
 Girl, how can I live through this
 When you're all I wake up for each day?

 Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
 You're all I've got to get me by
 You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
 Without you baby, what good am I?

 I never had much goin'
 But at least I had you
 How can you walk out knowin'
 I ain't got nothin' left if you do?

 Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
 You're all I've got to get me by
 You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
 Without you baby, what good am I, oh what good am I?

 [Spoken:] Baby, I can't make it withoutcha. And I'm, I'm tellin' ya, honey-you're my
 reason for laughin', for cryin', for livin', and for dyin'.

 Baby, I can't make it without you
 Please, I'm begging you baby
 If you go it will kill me
 I swear it, Dear, my love can't bear it

 You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
 You're all I've got to get me by
 You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
 Without you baby, what good am I, what good am I?
