I never thought I'd feel so alone without you
I never thought I'd want someone so much--I need you
What am I gonna do?

I Want You, I need you, I long to be beside you
I Want You, to see you, I Want You, I Want You

Never have the lights seemed so cold around me
And never have the streets been so empty, surround me
What am I gonna do?

I Want You, I need you, I long to be beside you
I Want You, to see you, I Want You, I Want You

Oh, oh, oh, what am I gonna do?

I Want You, I need you, I long to be beside you
I Want You, to see you, I Want You, I Want You...

Rick Springfield (born Richard Lewis Springthorne, 23 August 1949) is an Australian musician and actor. In his teenage years he lived in England where he joined various bands. In 1968, Pete Watson invited him to join Rockhouse (the name of the group was soon changed to MPD Ltd). After a tour in South Vietnam Springfield and the drummer Danny Finley formed Wickedly Wak.

In September 1969, Rick replaced Roger Hicks in the pop rock group Zoot. He had written various songs before the band broke up. Springfield commenced his solo career signing with Sparmac Records. In 1973, he started performing for Columbia Records. He released his best-known hit, “Jessie’s Girl”, in 1981 in the album Working Class Dog, and continues recording music nowadays.

Springfield is also known for performances in several TV series. He made his acting debut in 1977 in The Six Million Dollar Man. Since then, he appeared in shows including General Hospital, Legion, and Hawaii Five-0.
