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 love and affection
  Givin' me direction
  Like a guidin' light
  To help me through my darkest hour
    Lately I'm a prayin'
  That you'll always be a stayin'
  Beside me
    Used to be that life was just emotions passing by
  Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
    Maybe I'm a crazy
  But I just can't live without you
  Baby, I'm a want you
  Baby, I'm a need you
  You're the only one
  I care enough to hurt about
    Lately I'm a prayin'
  That you'll always be a stayin'
  Beside me
    Used to be that life was just emotions passing by
  Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
  You taught me why
    Baby, ooh, baby
  I'm a want you
  Baby, I'm a need you
  Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
