Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy, but I just can't live without

Your lovin' and affection givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm-a prayin' that you'll always be-a stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm-a prayin' that you'll always be-a stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry, you taught me why

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
