Baby I Need Your Lovin'

Baby I need your lovin'

Baby I need your lovin'

Although you're never near

Your voice I often hear

Another day, another night

I long to hold you tight

'Cause I'm so lonely

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness

For a man to beg

Then weak I'd rather be

If it means havin' you to keep

'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Empty nights

Echo your name

Sometimes I wonder

Will I ever be the same

Oh yeah, when you see me smile

You know

Things have gotten worse

Any smile you might see

Has all been rehearsed

Darlin', I can't go on without you

This emptiness won't let me live without you

This loneliness inside me darlin'

Makes me feel half alive

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'

Got to have all your lovin'

Baby I Need Your Lovin'
