Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Baby, I need your loving

Baby, I need your loving

Although you're never near

Your voice I often hear

Another day, another night

I long to hold you tight

'Cause I'm so lonely

[Verse 2]

Baby, I need your loving

Got to have all your loving

Baby, I need your loving

Got to have all your loving

[Verse 3]

Some say it's a sign of weakness

For a man to beg

Then weak I would rather be

If it means having you to keep

'Cause lately I've been losing sleep

[Verse 4]

Baby, I need your loving

Got to have all your loving

Baby, I need your loving

Got to have all your loving

[Verse 5]

Empty nights echo your name

Oh, sometimes I wonder

Will I ever be the same?

Oh, yeah

[Verse 6]

When you see me smile (I need you and I want you)

You know things have gotten worse (I love you and I want you)

Any smile you might see, darling (I need you and I want you)

Has all been rehearsed (I want you and I love you)

[Verse 7]

Darling, I can't go on living without you (I need you and I want you)

(Baby) This emptiness won't let me live without you

(I want you and I need you, baby)

Loneliness inside me, baby (I need you and I want you, baby)

Makes me feel half alive (I love you)

[Verse 8]

Baby, I need your loving

Got to have all your loving

Baby, I need your loving

Got to have all your loving

[Verse 9]

(Baby, I need your loving) Baby, I need love, ooh, your loving, baby

(Got to have all your loving) Oh, now

Baby, I need your loving

Got to have all your loving

(Baby, I need your loving) Oh, sometimes I wonder

(Got to have all your loving) Ooh, baby
