Baby I'm-a Want You

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 lovin' and affection, givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour

Lately, I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be here stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately, I'm-a prayin'
That you'll always be here stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Ooh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
