Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
If I had you back in my world
I would prove that I could be a better girl (Oh, oh, oh)
If you let me back in
I would sho'nuff never, never let you go again (Hey baby)
I was so foolish to ever leave your side
Searching for what was right before my eyes
It was me who didn't realize
Till it was gone but now I know I need you in my life
[Chorus]
Boy, I need you bad as my heartbeat (Bad like the food I eat)
Bad as the air I breathe (Baby, I want you bad)
I need you bad, I can't take this pain (Bad, I can't take this pain)
Boy, I'm about to go insane (Baby, I need you bad)
I need you, I need you
What I gotta do? (Baby, I want you bad)
I need you, I need you
Do it all for you, hey (Baby, I need you)
[Verse 2]
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
To get back what we had when love was true (Oh, oh, oh)
No lie, I'd give up all I got
Just so I can get back in my spot, oh
[Chorus]
Boy, I need you bad as a heartbeat (Bad like the food I eat)
Bad like the air I breathe (Baby, I want you bad)
I need you bad, I can't take this pain (Bad, I can't take this pain)
Boy, I'm about to go insane (Baby, I need you bad)
'Cause I need you, I need you
What I gotta do? (Baby, I want you bad)
I need you, I need you
Do it all for you (Baby, I need you)
[Bridge]
Aw, let's go
When you want him so bad and you gotta get him back, say, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
'Cause it won't get no better, till you are together say, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
If you believe in your love and you can't give him up say, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
If there's nothing you won't do to get back with your boo say oh-oh, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Boy, I need you bad as a heartbeat (Bad like the food I eat)
Bad like the air I breathe (Baby, I want you bad)
I need you bad, I can't take this pain (Bad, I can't take this pain)
Boy, I'm about to go insane (Baby, I need you bad)
I need you, I need you
What I gotta do? (Baby, I want you bad)
I need you, I need you
Do it all for you (Baby, I need you)
[Outro]
Oh
