Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm a crazy
But I just can't live without

Your love and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guidin' light to help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be a stayin' beside me

Used to be that life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be a stayin' beside me

Used to be that life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
But it takes so long to see your face again
Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
Mmm...

Used to be that life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
But it takes so long to see your face again
