Song Lyrics
I bet we been together for a million years
And I bet we’ll be together for a million more
Oh It’s like I started breathing on the night we kissed
And I can’t remember what I ever did before
What would we do baby Without Us
What would we do baby Without Us
And there ain’t no nothing we can’t love each other through.
What would we do baby Without Us
Sha la la la
