I can't apologize for the way I feel
Cause I've always been honest with you
I've loved you the best I could
In the only way I knew
And If that's not enough I've got nothin' to say
And I'm not even sure that I would
Somedays it was bad and somedays good
But I've loved you the best I could

I need more... I need someone to hold me tonight
Someone there when I turn out the lights
Just to be here with me
I need more...
I need more than you somehow
I need more than your time will allow
I want you as my friend
Why can't you be that now?

You say you need me, then you'd be gone
The times I needed you
Then you'd hold me and say you're sorry
But what else could you do?
Yet I know you really loved me
So it's hard to let go like I should
Let's forget the bad
Remember the good
Cause you loved me the best you could

But I need more
I need someone to hold me tonight
Someone there when I turn out the light
Just to be here with me
I need more, I need more than you somehow
I need more than your time will allow
Remember the times that were good
We both loved the best we could

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
