[Verse 1]
All alone; it's you and me
Time to tell you now just how I feel
Babe, to you, I bare my heart
A light of love here in the dark

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't you know I might be strong
But deep down there's a sweetness
Only you can touch and make me feel
Oh, what a joy
You're such a perfect lover
Yes, you always know just what to do

[Chorus]
Oh, I-I-I need you
Oh baby, you know
You know I do
Oh, I-I-I need you
When the going gets rough
You know I do

[Verse 2]
At the start, I couldn't say
All my feelings I could not portray
But I got to tell you now
That I really need your love, babe
Oh, it's coming on strong
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I feel so secure
When you are here beside me
There ain't nothing that can bring me down
Oh, more and more
You take me way up high, babe
And you teach me what love is all about

[Chorus]
Oh, I-I-I need you
Oh baby, you know
You know I do
Oh, I-I-I need you
When the going gets rough
You know I do

[Bridge]
Breakdown

[Chorus]
Oh, I-I-I need you
Oh baby, you know
You know I do
Oh, I-I-I need you
When the going gets rough
You know I do
[Verse 2]
At the start, I couldn't say
All my feelings I could not portray
But I got to tell you now
That I really need your love, babe
Oh, it's coming on strong

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I feel so secure
When you are here beside me
There ain't nothing that can bring me down
Oh, more and more
You take me way up high, babe
And you teach me what love is all about

[Chorus]
Oh, I-I-I need you
Oh baby, you know
You know I do
Oh, I-I-I need you
When the going gets rough
You know I do
Oh, I-I-I need you
Oh baby, you know
You know I do
Oh, I-I-I need you
When the going gets rough
You know I do
