I Need You Lyrics

Joan Armatrading I Need You

Late at night, I feel so lonely
There's a body next to mine but I'm feeling cold
And baby in the morning light
When I look in some stranger's eyes
It's then I know that the need in me
Is really for your paradise

I dance, I sing but there's something missing
Every night a different name to call
But you know when I hold 'em tight
I always give the game away
I try so hard to make it right
But it always ends up the same

You know I need you
I need you like I needed you the first time we kissed
I need you and I need you now and I can't resist
Standing by your door in case you leave

I miss you mostly in the night
And I miss you through the day
I hate myself for hurting you
Yes, I know I drove you clean away

You know I need you
You know I need you
You know I need you
