With or Without You foi composta pela banda U2 e está no álbum The Joshua Tree, lançado em 1987. A música reflete sobre os conflitos e contradições nos relacionamentos e foi inspirada pelas experiências pessoais do vocalista Bono com as pressões da vida na estrada. A luta interior entre a vida como uma estrela do rock e os compromissos com sua família e fé são temas centrais.
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait, without you
With or without you With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I’m waiting for you
With or without you With or without you ahah I can’t live With or without you
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away
My hands are tied My body bruised, she got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away
With or without you With or without you oh-oh I can’t live With or without you
Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh
With or without you With or without you ahah I can’t live With or without you With or without you
