I don't need nobody when you're not around
And I don't need to hear sympathy when I'm feeling down
I don't even need a shoulder when I'm crying my tears
I just want for you to love me 'cause, baby, you're all that I need

There's times in my life when I feel all alone
I sit and wait for you by the telephone
'Cause I know that you'll be calling me to tell me you care
And I know that you will always be there, baby

I don't need nobody when you're not around
And I don't need to hear sympathy when I'm feeling down
I don't even need a shoulder when I'm crying my tears
I just want for you to love me 'cause, baby, you're all that I need

I think back to all the things that we've been through
I can't imagine living my life without you
Because your the first thing that I think of when I open my eyes
All I'll love you for the rest of my life, baby

I don't need nobody when you're not around
And I don't need to hear sympathy when I'm feeling down
I don't even need a shoulder when I'm crying my tears
I just want for you to love me 'cause, baby, you're all that I need

Baby, no matter where you are
Whether it's near or far,
I'll always have you in my heart
And if for some reason the sun don't shine and it rains all night
I'll still be all right because, baby, you're all that I need

I don't need nobody when you're not around
And I don't need to hear sympathy when I'm feeling down
I don't even need a shoulder when I'm crying my tears
I just want for you to love me 'cause, baby, you're all that I need

I don't need nobody when you're not around
And I don't need to hear sympathy when I'm feeling down
I don't even need a shoulder when I'm crying my tears
I just want for you to love me 'cause, baby, you're all that I need

I don't need nobody when you're not around
And I don't need to hear sympathy when I'm feeling down
I don't even need a shoulder when I'm crying my tears
I just want for you to love me 'cause, baby, you're all that I need
