I'm slowly transcribing lyrics with the help of others.  We'll see how far we get ...

Intuition (transcribed)

Some may not believe it, the way it's been going down
I think the mystery that's plaguing the rest of us in all our lives

I think there is a problem never identified
And if I had the answer in my mind, then certainly I'd see the light

You
Can't explain this feeling
(follow your intuition)
You
Oh

(amidst the confusion, There is no true understanding
(?)
And by reaching this point, We can achieve so much
(?), (?)
There is no point, There is no end)

Some say things are difficult for you
I don't know why until we give the emptiness some meaning
Every time I wanted to, every time I told you

You can take away my freedom, you can take away my life
You can send me your deceptions with all the instruments of despite

You can take away my reason when all the things I wish to see
Are your lies

You
Can't explain this feeling
(follow your intuition)
You
Can't explain this changing
You're changing
Oh, you

You can't deny
Nothing is the way that you want it to be
Just because the feelings are so strong
Just because the weight they bring is threatening
Just because the rhythms are so wrong
Just because the freedom is so lost
Just because some things are never ending
It's no wonder you can't see inside
Your life

Just Can’t Make It Without You (transcribed)

You ain’t got to be excited
‘Cause I got enough to see us through
You don’t have to whisper softly
I’m already there waiting for you

Cast your fears aside, my lady
Hold on to this love and don’t ever let go
‘Cause you and I
Were meant to take this ride
Baby, you know inside
That my love is good for you

(chorus)
Baby,
You make me
Want to get into you ‘til there’s nothing left to prove, yeah
I just can’t make it without you
I just can’t make it without you
I just can’t make it without you
Without you
Without you

You don’t have to move a muscle
It’s hearing you breathe that gets me off
Deep inside, the moment is so right
Hearing you speak in ways
That I’ve never heard before

Baby,
You make me
Want to get into you ‘til there’s nothing left to prove, yeah
I just can’t make it without you
I can’t stop thinking about you
I just can’t make it without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

Honey,
Show me
We can take the time and get into the groove, yeah
Baby,
You make me
Want to get into you ‘til there’s nothing left to prove, yeah
I just can’t make it without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

No, I just can’t make it without you
No, I can’t, cannot make it without you
No, I just can’t make it without you
No, I can’t, cannot make it without you

Girl, it’s been a long time since I’ve known you
I can tell by the way you hold my hand, yeah
Girl, it’s been a long time since I’ve known you
That is why I cannot make it without you, yeah, yeah, yeah

I just can’t make it without you
I can’t stop thinking about you
I just can’t make it without you
