Needing you, wanting you
I just don't know what I'm gonna do
To tell the truth it just ain't no use
My mind ain't strong enough to forget about you, oh baby
Here I am trying to be proud
Trying to fool myself with this unreal smile
Telling everyone that I no longer cling to you
But I know myself that can't be true
How can I forget a love I've known for so long?
The heart may not remember, but the mind goes on and on
And the more I think about it, the worse off I get
Something keeps telling me you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm needing you, wanting you
I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
The same love that made me smile, right now it makes me blue
How can I get you back? I need you here so bad
The neighbors say since you've been away, I seem to be so sad
You know they're right, I can't stand to be out of your sight
You need to be here close to me to lift these lonely nights
I'm needing you, wanting you
I just don't know what I'm gonna do, oh no
To tell the truth, it just ain't no use
My mind ain't strong enough to forget about you
Baby, baby, I'm sure needing you, yes, I'm wanting you
You know I just can't stand it, it just ain't no use, ain't no use
I just don't know what I'm gonna do
To tell the truth it just ain't no use
My mind ain't strong enough to forget about you, oh baby
Here I am trying to be proud
Trying to fool myself with this unreal smile
Telling everyone that I no longer cling to you
But I know myself that can't be true
How can I forget a love I've known for so long?
The heart may not remember, but the mind goes on and on
And the more I think about it, the worse off I get
Something keeps telling me you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm needing you, wanting you
I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
The same love that made me smile, right now it makes me blue
How can I get you back? I need you here so bad
The neighbors say since you've been away, I seem to be so sad
You know they're right, I can't stand to be out of your sight
You need to be here close to me to lift these lonely nights
I'm needing you, wanting you
I just don't know what I'm gonna do, oh no
To tell the truth, it just ain't no use
My mind ain't strong enough to forget about you
Baby, baby, I'm sure needing you, yes, I'm wanting you
You know I just can't stand it, it just ain't no use, ain't no use
