(you're my) soul and inspiration

Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield took their "blue-eyed soul" to the top of the charts one more time. After a series of hits with Phil Spector the year before, their contract was sold to the Verve label because they did not get along with Spector. They approached Brill Building writers Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who had co-written their only other number one hit 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'' with Spector. Medley produced the song to imitate Spector's famous "wall of sound" approach and also used the same arranger, Jack Nitzsche. It was the last big hit for the Righteous Brothers.

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?
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?
Mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm
