Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Should have told you by now

But I can't find the words

Oh no

[Verse 2]

If I could show you somehow

But I don't have the nerve

Oh yeah

You don't see me looking at you

How can love be so blind

Somehow you don't notice me

Sooner or later, (Yeah) there will come a time, baby

If you need somebody

The way that I need you

If you wanted somebody

The way that I want you, yeah

[Verse 3]

Oh yeah

The way that I want you

If I could hold you tonight

It would last me forever

But the time's never right

When will we be together

Oh no

[Verse 4]

If I could make you understand, what you're doing to me

Maybe there will come a time, when sooner or later, (Yeah) I will make you see, baby

If you needed somebody

The way that I need you

Baby tonight

If you wanted somebody

The way that I want you

[Verse 5]

Ooh, if I could tell you now

The way you make me feel

Ooh, if I could show you somehow

Don't you know my lovin' is oh so real

[Verse 6]

If you need somebody

The way that I need you

Baby tonight

If you wanted somebody

The way that I want you

Yeah, I need you, I want you, I gotta tell you (If you need somebody)

The way that I need you

And if you wanted somebody

The way that I want you
