Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby I need your loving (I really need it, baby)
Baby I need your loving (I really need it, baby)
Although you're never near (I really need it, baby)
Your voice, I often hear (I really need it, baby)
Another day, another night (I really need it, baby)
I long to hold you tight (I really need it, baby)
'Cause I'm so lonely
[Verse 2]
Baby I need your loving
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your loving
Got to have all your lovin'
[Verse 3]
Some say it's a sign of weakness for a man to beg
Then weak, I'd rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'Cause lately, I've been losin' sleep
[Verse 4]
Baby I need your loving
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your loving
Got to have all your lovin'
[Verse 5]
Empty nights echo your name
Whoa, sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same?
Oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
When you see me smile, you know (Baby, that I need ya and I want ya)
Things have gotten worse (Baby, that I need ya and I love ya)
Any smile that you might see (Baby, that I need ya and I want ya)
Has all been rehearsed (Baby, that I need ya and I love ya)
Darlin', I can't go on without you (Baby, that I need ya and I want ya)
This emptiness won't let me live without ya
(Baby, that I need ya and I love ya)
This loneliness inside me, darlin' (Baby, that I need ya and I want ya)
Makes me feel half alive (Baby, that I need ya and I)
[Verse 7]
Baby I need your loving
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your loving
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your loving
Got to have all your lovin'
