[Verse 1]
I used to be a very carefree man
A loving man of the world
Yeah, I would still be except for the time
When I met ya, little girl

[Verse 2]
Say, I've tried and I've tried but I just can't
You sure got a hold on me
Ah, your good, good lovin' is makin' me faint
Mama, please don't set me free

[Chorus]
Because I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)
Oh, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)

[Verse 3]
You got that kinda air that drives me insane
And sometime ya sure got me new
Ah, sometimes I feel like knockin' you down
But I would never pull that scene

[Verse 4]
Though I get tired, I know that you know
That I'd never do you wrong
‘Cause when it's late and I feel down, turn the lights on low
And I will hold things in my soul

[Chorus]
‘Cause I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)
I'm gonna need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)
Yeah, ooh yeah

[Chorus]
Ah, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya)
You know I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya)

[Chorus]
Yeah, oh, oh, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya)
Oh yeah, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah
Oh, (Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya)

[Outro]
Oh, (Need ya, need ya, need ya , need ya)

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
