I long to hold you tight
(I need you near me)
'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 said, "It's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg than weep"
I'd rather be, if it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep

Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving

Empty nights, echo your name
Sometimes, I wonder
Will I ever be the same? Oh yeah

When you see me smiling, you know
(And I need you and I want you, baby)
Things have gotten worse
(And I need you and I want you, baby)
Any smile you might see
(And I need you and I want you, baby)
Has all been rehearsed
(And I need you and I want you, baby)

Darlin' I can't go on without you
(and I need you and I want you, baby
This emptiness wont let me live without you
(And I need you and I want you, baby)
This loneliness inside me darlin'
(And 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
