Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got to feel the need in me
You got to feel the need in me, baby
You got to feel the need in me
You got to feel the need in me, baby
[Verse 2]
So alone I feel at times
I'm wonderin' if you're truly mine
Can't you see all the tears fallin' from my eyes?
Can't you, can't you feel this way I feel deep inside?
[Verse 3]
My heart seems to bleed when I feel the need
To hold you in my arms and you, and you pull away
Now I may be wrong, but my feelings just don't lie
About this emptiness down deep inside, that's why
[Verse 4]
You got to feel the need in me, baby
You got to feel the need in me
You got to feel the need in me, baby
[Verse 5]
When you're around, you make me feel so good
All of my worries are far away
Then other times, oh, you feel so cold
What makes you treat me this way? Oh
[Verse 6]
You got to feel the need in me now
You got to feel the need in me, baby
You got to feel the need in me
You got to feel the need in me, baby
[Verse 7]
Everybody sayin' I got to be a fool
I gotta be crazy for lovin' you
Oh, I'm startin' to wonder if there's truth in what they say
My mind says to leave you, but my heart says I better stay
[Verse 8]
I, I wanna feel like I'm something more than a passing thought from you
I need to know that the things you say are true
I want that sweet, sweet love to fill me up inside
Let our hearts come together for all times
[Verse 9]
I do not say things that I do not mean
If I do not love you, I'd let you know
If I am not right for you, won't you tell me so?
Before you break my heart in two
[Verse 10]
You got to feel the need in me
You got to feel the need in me, baby
You got to feel the need in me
You got to feel the need in me, baby
[Verse 11]
You got to feel the need in me
You got to feel the need in me, baby
You got to feel the need in me
Baby, baby, baby
You got to feel the need in me, baby
