Hi,

From what you mentioned, the song that you are looking for might be "Without You" by Roughhouse. It is from a self-titled album released by CBS Records in 1988. The song is a ballad, and part of the lyrics are:

You're never around when
I need you
And when you are it's a fight
You never smile when
I see you
You turn ghostly white
I don't know what to do
It's Catch-22
I just have to remember
Can't live with you
Can't live without you

By the way, Roughhouse was originally a glam band named Teeze that released an album a few years earlier.

I hope this helps.
