When I'm feeling lonely or when I'm feeling blue

When it seems like there's nothing left for me to hang on to

When all of my plans fall through and I'm losing my direction

And all I need is someone to help me sing my song

Or when I need someone to lean on

That's when I want you

Yeah, that's when I need you

Yeah, that's when I want you

By my side

Summer nights and starry skies and a warm ocean breeze

Looking out at a silver moon coming up through the trees

That's just where I long to be, but it's hard for me to see it

Without someone to share it, to share the way I feel

To let me know that it's real

That's when I want you

Yeah, that's when I need you

I need you

That's when I want you

By my side, oh yeah

I need you, baby

In the night

Mmm, to make it right

I want you, darling

You know I do

'Cause it feels so good when I'm next to you

It feels so good when I'm next to you

Well, that's when I want you

Yes, I want you

That's when I need you

You know I need you

That's when I want you

I want you by my side

Oh yeah

That's when I want you

That's when I need you

You're the one I need, girl

That's when I want you

By my side
