Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You're the only one
I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light
To help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll 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 I'm a-prayin'
That you'll 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, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long
To find you, baby
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
