Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I need someone's hand to lead me through the night

I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight

And when the night begins and until it ends

I need your love so bad

[Verse 2]

I need some lips to feel next to mine

I need someone to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'

And when the lights are low and it's time to go

I need your love so bad

[Verse 3]

So now give it up, give it up

Bring it home to me

Write it, write it on a piece paper

So it can be read to me

[Verse 4]

Just tell me you love me

Stop drivin' me mad

Because I, I need your love

So bad

[Verse 5]

I need a soft voice

To talk to me at night

Don't worry, baby

We won't pass that by

[Verse 6]

Listen, listen to my plea

Bring it on home to me

I need your love (Oh I need, need your love)

So bad

[Verse 7]

Oh, I need (Oh I need)

I need your love (Need your love)

I need it so bad

Yeah

[Verse 8]

I need (Oh I need)

Got to have your love (Need your love)

So bad

[Verse 9]

I need (Oh I need)

Honey, I need (Need your love)

Your love

So bad
