Since the day I lost you, girl
I just can't face the world
I'm kind of feeling kind of small
I let you go one day
But now I'm ashamed to say
I said, oh, baby, I need you
I need your loving, girl
I said, oh, baby, I need you

Well, I need, said, I need
I need you right by my side
I guess I lost my day
I know I must have said
A lot of things to make you cry

I've made myself a lonely man
But now I have come to understand
I said, oh, baby, I need you
I never need no one
I said, oh, baby, I need you
Like I need you, girl
Like I need you, girl
Like I need you, girl

I said, I let you go one day and now I'm ashamed just to say
I said, oh, baby, I need you
I never need no one
I said, oh, baby, I need you
Like I need you
Like I need you
Like I need you, girl

Never need no one

I've made myself a lonely man
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I've, I've come to understand (I said, oh, baby, I need you)

Baby, I need you, girl (I said, oh, baby, I need you)
I never love no one
Like I love you, girl
I keep loving you, girl

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I said, oh, baby, I need you
You only understand (I said, oh, baby, I need you)
