Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, I need your loving (I really need you)
Baby, I need your loving (I really need you)
Although you’re never near (I really need you)
Your voice I often hear (I really need you)
Another day, another night (I really need you)
I long to hold you tight (I really need you)
‘Cause I’m so lonely
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Some say it’s a sign of weakness for a man to beg
Then weak, I’d rather be
If it means having you to keep
‘Cause lately I’ve been losing sleep
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Lonely nights echo your name
Whoa, sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same
Oh yeah
When you see me smiling, you know
(I need you and I want you, baby)
That things have just gotten worse
(And I need you and I love you)
Any smile you might see (I need you and I want you, baby)
Has all been rehearsed (I need you and I love you, baby)
Darling, I can’t go on with you (I need you and I want you, baby)
This emptiness won’t let me live without you
(I need you and I love you, baby)
This loneliness inside me, baby (I need you and I want you, baby)
Makes me feel half alive (And I need you and I)
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Yeah, whoo
Oh, yes I do, whoo
