Baby, im-a want you
Baby, im-a need you

You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe im-a crazy
But I just cant live without...
Your lovin and affection
Givin me direction

Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately Im a-prayin
That youll always be a-stayin beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...

Lately Im a-prayinThat youll always be a-stayin beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...

You taught me why...
Baby, im-a want you
Baby, im-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, im-a want you
Baby, im-a need you
