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 lovin' and affection

Givin' me direction

Like a guiding lightto help me through a darkest hour

Lately I'm a-prayin'

That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me

Used to be my 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 my 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

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby, I'm-a want you

Baby, I'm-a need you
