Lyrics
Need someone’s hand to lead me through the night
I need someone’s arms to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins, I’m at an end
Because I need your love so badI need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up and tell me when I’m lying
And when the lights are low, and it’s time to go
That’s when I need your love so badSo, why don’t you give it up and bring it home to me
Or write it on a piece of paper, baby, so, it can be read to me
You tell me that you love me and stop driving me mad
Oh, because I, I need your love so badNeed your soft voice to talk to me at night
I don’t want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, bring it to me
Because I need your love so bad
