One two three [Spoken]

You could be a righteous rocker or a holy roller
You could be 'most anything
You could be a child of the slum or a skid row bum
Or you could be a foreign king
You could be a wealthy man from Texas
Or a witch with heavy hexes

But without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing without love

You could be a brilliant surgeon or a sweet young virgin
Or a harlot out to sell
You could learn to play the blues or be Howard Hughes
Or the Scarlet Pimpernel
You could be a French provincial midwife
Or go from door to door with a death knife

But without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing without love

Without love you ain't nothing
(You ain't nothing without love) You ain't nothing
Without love you ain't nothing without love

Break

Woo-ooh-ooh-oo-oh
Wo oh oh

You could be a woman feeler or a baby stealer
You could drink your life away
You could be a holy prophet, get a blessing off it
You could fast for fifty days
Oh you could shake hands with the devil
Or give your life to God on the level

But without love you ain't nothing
You ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing without love

Without love you ain't nothing
(You ain't nothing without love)
Without love you ain't nothing without love

You could be a righteous rocker (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
Alright
You could be a holy roller (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
Ra-ah ra-ah rah
You ain't nothing without love
(Without love you ain't nothing without love)

You ain't nothing, you ain't nothing
(Without love you ain't nothing without love)
Without love

Oh you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
You ain't nothing
Without love you ain't nothing without love (Without love you ain't nothing without love)

(Without love) [x2]

I do believe that without love (Without love you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing without love)
Nothing really matters
Without love (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
It don't matter who you are, who you know, where you go
Without love you're nothing (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
You are nothing, you are nothing
You are nothing without love (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
(Without love you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing without love)
(Without love you ain't nothing without love) Love
(Without love you ain't nothing without love)​
