Darlin', tell me
I need you
Try me
Try me

And your love will always be true
[Refrain]
Oh, I need you
I need you
[Verse 2]
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
I want you right here by my side
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
And your love, we won't hide
[Refrain]
Oh, I need you
I need you
[Bridge]
Need you, need you
Need you, need you
[Refrain]
Oh, I need you
I need you
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, walk with me
Walk with me
Talk with me
Talk with me
I want you to stop my heart from a-cryin'
Walk with me
Walk with me
Talk with me
Talk with me
And your love stopped my heart from dyin'
[Refrain]
Oh, I need you
I need you, ooh-ooh
