(David Gates)

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

You're the only one
I care enough to hurt about.
Lately 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 my darkest hours.
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
But never really knowing why.

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