Like a baby needs to be carried And a poem needs to rhyme Like an orphan needs a family And a writer quiet time
Like a starving child needs nourishing And a bachelor needs a bride Like the loser needs encouraging And a winner needs his prize
I need you to free me from my sorrow I need you to make it to tomorrow You make me strong when I feel weak You give me song when I can't sing And when I'm down and I need you most You guide me home when I am lost I need your love
Like a musical needs dancers And a homeless man a coat Like a question deserves an answer And a chord is missing a note
I need you to free me from my sorrow I need you to make it to tomorrow You make me strong when I feel weak You give me song when I can't sing And when I'm down and I need you most You guide me home when I am lost I need your love
Oh yes I do I need your love Sometimes when it ain't going right Still need your love In the middle of the night That's when I need your love When I can't find the light I need your love, Need your love
