Maurice White I Need You lyrics

I can take a woman or leave her alone
Temporary lovers come and go
You're the only woman that I've ever known
Who's got me losin' control

Oh, I don't want to dream about you
Or wonder where you are
Oh, I wish my heart could beat without you
But have I gone too far?

You say, I need you
You think that I need all the love you're givin'
I need you
'Cause livin' alone isn't really living at all

Baby, baby
Never planned to make love a permanent thing
Keeping my emotions on the side
Kinda like my life just the way that it's been
Girl, I'm takin' my time

Oh, I don't want to miss you, baby
But that's the hardest part
Oh, I try to assess you, baby
But have I gone too far?


You say, I need you
You think that I need all the love you're givin'
And I need you
'Cause livin' alone isn't really living at all

Who decides which one we love
Or when we're goin' to fall
I don't need two hands to hold
Two lips to whisper

I need you
You think that I need all the love you're givin'
And I need you
'Cause living alone

I need you
You think that I need all the love you're givin'
I need you
Like the air that I breathe from an open window
I need you, need you
I can't let you leave and I won't pretend no more
