[Verse 1]
It's been a while since I have had a break from worrying
Memories of you always creep up into my head
And baby, if there was any such a thing as wishing
I'd wish for you to be right next to me instead

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I don't blame you if you don't wanna give it another try
You probably found some other guy to dry your eyes
This situation has got me unattached within
I don't know where my life is going
Judging all the places that I've been

[Chorus]
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you, baby
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you, baby

[Verse 2]
I don't want you to think that I've been desperate
I've just been dreaming about your tender tender kiss
Sometimes I sit and think about how you used to work it
The love you give to me, baby, you know I miss

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't blame you if you don't wanna give it another try
You probably found some other guy to dry your eyes
This situation has got me unattached within
I don't know where my life is going
Judging all the places that I've been

[Chorus]
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you, baby
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you, baby

[Bridge]
I need you, baby
Oh, I need you, baby
Oh, yeah
I want you (I need you), you want me
You've got me going crazy
I want you, you want me
You've got me going crazy

[Chorus]
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you, baby
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you

[Bridge]
I need you, baby
I want you (you need me, yeah), you want me
You've got me going crazy
I want you, you want me
You've got me going crazy

[Chorus]
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you, baby
I need you, you need me, can't you see
I'm going crazy for you

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
