BABY I’M-A WANT YOU

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 light to help me through my darkest hour. 
Lately I’m a prayin’ that you’ll always be a staying beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why.

(Instrumental)

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-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.
