I need you
I need you more than birds need the sky
I need you, it's true little girl
That you can lift the tears from my eyes
But if you ever tell me good-bye
I'll break down and you'll hear me cry
I need you
More than anybody else has needed anyone before
I need you
There's no one else to stand in your place
I need you, you know little girl
That you can keep the smile on my face
But if you ever tell me good-bye
I'll break down and you'll hear me cry
I need you
More than anybody else has needed anyone before
I need you
There's no one else to stand in your place
I need you, you know little girl
That you can keep the smile on my face
But if you ever tell me good-bye
I'll break down and you'll hear me cry
I need you
More than anybody else has needed anyone before (2x)
(3x)
I need you
