[Verse 1]
Girl, my heart is in your hands
I need you to understand
Please, swallow your pride
I want you to be my guide
[Chorus]
Girl, I love you, I want you
Oh, how I care when you need me
I’ll be there
I need you, yes I do, girl
[Verse 2]
Girl, my love is all for you
No one else will ever do
Please, open your heart
And let in a brand new start
[Chorus]
Girl, I love you, I want you
Oh, how I care when you need me
I’ll be there, I need you, yes I do
Girl, I need you
[Bridge]
Girl, in me you’ve got to believe
I’ll be loving you and this you will see
I need you, yes, I do
Girl, I need you, yes I do
Girl, I need you
I need you, yes I do
Girl, I need you

Baby, you gotta know how much I want you
