You know I miss you now that you're really gone
Life is sad living alone
I wish I had someone to share the darkness
Don't do no good to play them old songs
Just make me drink and cry all night long
How long will my hurting go on
I need somebody new
Oh she used to know my feelings just by touching me
And love was so bright in her eyesthe whole world could see
I remember when her words and her lips were warm and soft
I need someone to take up where she left off

She ain't smiling in my direction
She didn't want any nighttime affection
Seems we just lost love's connection
I wish I knew why
You know it hurts a man a whole lot
After you give it all that you got
Then she says she would rather not
Give her love to you anymore
She used to know my feelings just by touching me
And love was so bright in her eyes the whole world could see
I remember when her words and her lips were so warm and soft
I need someone to take up where she left off

Don't you know I'm needing someone to take up where she left off
