NEED YOUR LOVE SO BAD
(Mertis John Jr.)
Need someone's hand
to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms
to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins,
whoa, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad
I need some lips
to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up
to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And 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 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
and stop drivin' me mad
whoa, because I
I need your love so bad
Need a soft voice
just to talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby,
come on bring it to me'Cause I need
your love so bad
Baby, I need, I need
woman, I need your love so bad
