I Need You
Beatles · Help !
I need you.
Love you all the time,
Never leave you.
Please come on back to me.
I'm lonely as can be.
I need you.
Said you had a thing or two
To tell me.
How was I to know you would
Upset me.
I didn't realize
As I looked in your eyes.
You told me.
Oh, yes, you told me
You don't want my lovin' anymore.
That's when it hurt me
And feeling like this,
I just can't go on anymore.
Please remember how I feel
About you.
I could never really live
Without you.
So, come on back and see
Just what you mean to me.
I need you.
But when you told me
You don't want my lovin' anymore.
That's when it hurt me
And feeling like this,
I just can't go on anymore.
Please remember how I feel
About you.
I could never really live
Without you.
So, come on back and see
Just what you mean to me.
I need you.
I need you.
I need you.
