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 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
