I need someones hand
To lead me through the night
Need someones arms
To hold and squeeze me tight

When the night begins
I'm at an end
'Cause I need your love so bad

Need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up
And tell my when I'm lying

When the lights are low
And it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad

So why don't you give it up
And bring it on home to me
Or write it on a piece of paper, baby
So it can be read to me

Tell me that you love me
Stop driving me mad
Because I need your love so bad

I need a soft voice
To talk to me at night
Don't won't to worry, baby
I know we'll make everything alright

Listen to my plea, yeah
Bring it to me
'Cause I need your love so bad
Because I need your love so bad

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
