I Need You
Westlife · Westlife
baby baby I'm here for you
I don't know why
Why I did those things to you
What went through my mind
And I don't know why
Why I broke your heart in two
Guess that I was blind
Baby how I wish you could forgive me
Just One more time
(Chorus)
And I swear
IÂ’ll be there
Anytime you want me to
IÂ’ll be true
Here for you
DonÂ’t leave me lonely
'Cause I need you
Yes IÂ’ve been a fool
now I see the price to pay
I canÂ’t run and hide
'Cause IÂ’m losing you
And my chances slipped away
With each time I lied
Baby how I wish you could forgive me
One more time
(Chorus)
And I swear
IÂ’ll be there
Anytime you want me to
IÂ’ll be true
Here for you
DonÂ’t leave me lonely
'Cause I need you
Baby living without you
Will tear me apart
When I know how it could have been
But I donÂ’t care what it leads to
LetÂ’s make a new start
And give love a chance to win...
'Cause baby I swear
Baby baby I swear to you
Anytime you want me to (yes i swear)
Baby baby i'm here for you
don't leave me lonely
'Cause I need you
(Chorus)
And I swear
IÂ’ll be there
Anytime you want me to
IÂ’ll be true
Here for you
DonÂ’t leave me lonely
'Cause I need you
