Lyrics: Baby, I Need Your Lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’Although you’re never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
‘Cause I’m so lonelyBaby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’Some say it’s a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I’d rather be
If it means havin’ you to keep
‘Cause lately I’ve been losin’ sleepBaby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’Empty nights
Echo your name
Sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the sameOh yeah, when you see me smile
You know
Things have gotten worse
Any smile you might see
Has all been rehearsedDarlin’, I can’t go on without you
This emptiness won’t let me live without you
This loneliness inside me, darlin’
Makes me feel not alive, honeyBaby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’Baby, I need your lovin’
I got to have all your lovin’
Baby, I need your lovin’
Got to have all your lovin’
