Joan Armatrading - I Need You lyrics

Late

At night

I feel so lonely

Here's a body next to mine but I'm feeling cold

And baby in the morning light

When I look in some stranger's eyes

It's then I know that the need in me

Is really for your paradise

I dance

I sing

But there's something missing

Every night a different name to call

But you know when I hold 'em tight

I always give the game away

I try so hard to make it right

But it always ends up the same

You know I need you

I need you

Like I needed you

The first time we kissed

I need you

And I need you now

And I can't resist

Standing by your door in case you leave

I miss you mostly in the night

And I miss you through the day

I hate myself for hurting you

Yes I know I drove you clean away

You know I need you

But now I need you
