[Intro]

[Verse 1]
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 loving and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm-a praying
That you'll always be a-staying beside me

[Chorus]
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
Knowing why

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Lately I'm-a praying
That you'll always be a-staying beside me

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long to find you
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long to find you
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long...
