Lyrics and translation
Original
You caught me at a crossroads, you caught me in the nick of time
On the ledge with one foot hangin', just waitin' for a sign
I was down and out, runnin' with the wrong crowd
I was walkin' through every wrong door
I can't imagine all the trouble I'd be if you never made me yours
If I didn't know you, I wouldn't know how to love
I wouldn't know what it feels like to be someone's only one
If I never saw your eyes, it's like I'd never seen the sun
What would I do if I didn't know you?
Some people never make it, tryin' to make it on their own
And every man's just an island until a good woman calls him home
Well, you found me lost at sea, tossed and turned around
Held on through the ebb and flow, yeah, you anchored me down
And if I didn't know you, I wouldn't know how to love
I wouldn't know what it feels like to be someone's only one
And if I'd never seen your eyes, it's like I'd never seen the sun
What would I do if I didn't know you?
I can't see behind tomorrow
I can't change my yesterdays
Well, sometimes I just wonder who I'd be today
If I didn't know you, I wouldn't know how to love
I wouldn't know what it feels like to be someone's only one
And if I never saw your eyes, it's like I'd never seen the sun
What would I do if I didn't know you?
Oh, what would I do if I didn't know you?
Hmm-mm, mm-mm
