Lonnie Johnson - You Will Need Me (1960) lyrics

Yes, you don't know how much you gonna need me, until I walk out your door.

Yes, you don't know how much you gonna need me, until I walk out your door.

To find a true lovin' and kind man like me, you can't find that anymore.

Yes, I thought I had a real woman, that I could love for the rest of my life.

Yes, I thought I had a real woman, I could love for the rest of my life.

But I found it out, I was only in love with another man's wife.

Yes, night and day I cried for your love, you laughed and called me a clown.

Yes, night and day I cried for your love, you laughed and called me a clown.

But baby you goinna need me, when your so-called friends begin to turn you down.

Everybody could tell you how to treat your man, yes, but you wrecked your home.

Everybody can tell you how to treat your man, yes, but you wrecked your home.

An' there's nobody gonna help you, baby, when your good man is gone.
