英文歌词：

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
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's 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
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

U2是一支在1976年时成立于都柏林的爱尔兰四人制摇滚乐乐团，自1980年代窜起走红之后，一直到进入21世纪的今日，仍然非常活跃于全球流行音乐乐坛。音乐风格上，除了传统的流行硬式摇滚之外，在1990年代U2也曾尝试过一阵子较为实验性的电子音乐作品。在内容方向上U2的创作内容非常广泛，尤其是对于政治性的话题并不避讳，例如人权问题的探讨就是他们常常著墨的一种主题。由于其知名度与良好的形象，今日的U2已经成为爱尔兰重要的国家象征之一。
