C'mon, now you've got some time

I wanna hear it cuz I need an answer

I know youth dies young

But our youth's just begun

And ain't it a beautiful day

'Cause it's true, baby

I need you

I'm damned if I say I do

Gertrude would approve

I need you in the mornin

I need you in the silent afterglow

Won't you let my lovin' show, baby

Oh anyone can toe the line

Except for me cuz I'm a disco dancer

All my life I've been

A gopher with a grin

My smile is fadin' away

Cuz it's true, baby

I need you

To shatter the status q

Truman would approve

I need you in the mornin'

I need you in the sunshine, rain or snow

Won't you let my lovin' show, baby

Otherwise I don't want to hear it

You've got me talkin talkin talkin

Well it's better than you

'Cause I say I don't wanna fear it

That look that says exactly what you think of me

Cuz that's when you would be free oh

From my love

My love

Baby baay-bee

C'mon now honey stop denyin'

Or I'm forever gonna be a bachelor

Leave the steps of your house

Get down to the courthouse

Give me a G and an A, Y?!

'Cause it's true,

Baby I need you I'm damned if I say, "I do"

Jesus would approve I need you in the morning I need you

In the scarlet afterglow oh won't you let my lovin' show

Baby I need you-oo-ooo I need you to sustain my sorry soul

Won't you let my lovin' show

Baby I need you I need you I said

I don't wanna hear it you got me talkin talkin talkin

Well it's better than you I need you-oo-ooo I need yoooou

I need you to get over my rainbow

I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it

I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it
