[Intro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Mmm-hmm-hmm-mmm
[Verse 1]
You see this guy
This guy's in love with you, huh
Yes, I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile, I can tell
We know each other very well
My hands are shaking (My hands are shaking)
Don't you let my heart keep on aching (Don't let my heart)
[Break]
'Cause I heard (I heard you think that I'm fine)
Ooh, and I heard (I heard you want to be mine)
Don't know how true it is, but
I heard it through the grapevine
[Verse 2]
I heard some talk
They say you think I'm fine
Well, I'm in love
What I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so?
Don't let me be the last one to know
How can I show you? (How can I show you?)
Oh, how glad I am I got to know you, 'cause
(I'm glad I know you)
[Chorus]
I need your love
I want your love
I need your love
Ooh, I want your love
Say we're in love
And I can be your guy
If not, I'll just die (Die)
If you don't say it right now
I'll die, baby (Ooh, I'll die)
[Instrumental Break]
Oh, I need your love
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby
I want your love
(I need your love, baby)
Ooh
[Bridge]
Tell me now, is it so?
I don't wanna have to be the last one to know
How can, oh, how can I show you? (How can I show you?)
How glad I am I got to know you, 'cause
(I'm glad I know you)
[Outro]
I need (I need your love)
(I want your love)
Your love (I need your love)
Oh, I want your love

Baby, baby, baby, baby, I need your love

More and more and more and more

Ooh, I need your love
