My mother once told me
I don’t need a man
To be the best I can be
But just one look from you
I’m changing my plans
‘Cause darlin’ I need you
Like ships need the sea
Darlin’ I need you
Like ships need the sea
My grandfather told me
That real men don’t cry
But I saw your tears
In the moonlight
That’s when I knew
That my grandfather lied
And darlin’ I need you
Like birds need the sky
Darlin’ I need you
Like birds need the sky
Finally you gave me
The hope I’d awaited
Finally you gave me your heart
Gladly I gave you
The love you’d awaited
Gladly I gave you my heart
Finally you gave me
The hope I’d awaited
Finally you gave me your heart
Gladly I gave you
The love you’d awaited
Gladly I gave you my heart
That preacher, he told me
That love’s not easy
I told him I don’t want it to be
Darlin’ I need you
Like ships need the sea
And I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you
For all of our days
I’m gonna love you
For all of our days
My mother once told me
I don’t need a man
But darlin’ I need you
My mother once told me
I don’t need a man
But darlin’ I need you
