Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Baby, I need your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Although you’re never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
‘Cause I’m so lonely
Baby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’
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
Baby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’
Empty nights
Echo your name
Sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same
Oh yeah, when you see me smile
You know
Things have gotten worse
Any smile you might see
Has all been rehearsed
Darlin’, I can’t go on without you
This emptiness won’t let me live without you
This loneliness inside me, darlin’
Makes me feel not alive, honey
Baby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’
