I Need You
The Beatles · Help! (Remastered) [2009]
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.
About I Need You
"I Need You" is a standout track from The Beatles' 1965 album *Help!*, showcasing the band's evolving songwriting and production techniques during their mid-period. Written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the song features a distinctive acoustic guitar intro that sets a melancholic yet driving tone, characteristic of the group's shift toward more complex arrangements. The recording, captured in London's EMI Studios, exemplifies the polished sound of the *Help!* era while hinting at the experimental direction the band would soon pursue. As a staple of their discography, the song remains a significant example of 1960s pop-rock, reflecting the band's ability to blend personal emotion with catchy, radio-friendly melodies that defined their global impact.
