Never Felt This Way
Brian McKnight · Brian McKnight
You’d ever hear me say
That I want and need to be without you
I want to give my all
Baby just hold me, simply control me
Cause your arms, they keep away the lonelies
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
That all I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life
Chorus:
Cause I’ve never felt this way about lovin’
Never felt so good
Never felt this way about lovin’
It feels so good
How it takes my breath
Starts a burning in my chest
Make me weak, when I think about you
Makes me want to give my all
Life wouldn’t mean a thing
Not a happy song to sing
Just emptiness if I had to live without you
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
That all I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life
Chorus
Piano solo
