That's What I Need
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I need someone who I can share all my dreams with
That's what I need
Someone special, who will love me just for me
That's what I need
I need someone to hold me tight
To give good loving all night
So many times I've opened up my heart
Only to have someone tear it apart
That's why I need
Someone to treat me right, make love all through the night
That's what I need
(Boy, I've been hurt before) I've been hurt before
Real love I'm looking for
That's what I need
Real love
I need someone who will never leave me lonely
That's what I need
Someone faithful, who'll love me as their one and only
That's what I need
I need someone to share my ups and downs
And even through the bad times, will always be around
So many times I've opened up my heart
Only to have someone tear it apart
I need
Someone to treat me right (treat me right)
Make love all through the night (I need it)
That's what I need
(I've been hurt before) I've been hurt before
(Real love) Real love I'm looking for
That's what I need
Someone who will treat me right, make sweet love all through the night
Someone who'll love me for me, a real love
That's what I need
