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
