[Into]
I need someone, whoa, how I need someone
I need someone, someone like you, you, you

[Scatting]

[Verse 1]
Today my love has gone away
He won't be back, he wants it that way
And I need someone to take his place
Someone with a warm embrace
He promised me he would be true
Yeah, he said "I love no one but you"
But here I stand, I'm all alone
With nothin' to do but to stay at home

[Chorus]
And I need someone, oh, how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

[Verse 2]
Yeah, we used to travel all around and around
Yeah, we always went from town to town
But since my baby been gone away
I haven't had a, haven't had a happy day
Even though we were together for so long
I can't imagine what went wrong
Here we are so far apart
And now he's thinking that he's so smart
[Chorus]
I need someone, oh, how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

[Bridge]
Oh, oh I need someone
Yeah, I really need someone
I need someone like you
Oh yes, I do, baby

[Scatting]

[Chorus]
I need someone, oh, how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you
