Honey (Oh How I Need You)
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
Oh how you bring me joy
Fulfill my life
Oh much I need you
Oh how I need you honey
Oh how you bring my joy
Fulfill my life
Oh I need you, yes I do
You came to me, like words to a melody
For love, just for you and me
Now you're in my life, I feel no more strife
'Cause with you I'm happy
[HOOK]
Your sweet and tender touch
How it means so much
When it's coming from your heart
From your heart, from your heart
Oh ordinary won't do, I'm so glad
I found someone like you 'Cause with you I'm happy
Oh how I need you honey
Oh how you bring me joy
Fulfill my life
Oh much I need you
Oh how I need you honey
Like the flowers that need the sun
Like the grass that needs the rain
Oh I need you, yes I do
I do
