I used to be a very carefree man
A loving man of the world
Yeah, I would still be except for the time
When I met ya, little girl

Say, I've tried and
I've tried but I just can't
You sure got a hold on me
Ah, your good, good lovin'
Is makin' me faint
Mama
Please don't set me free

Because I need ya, need ya
Need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)
Oh, need ya, need ya
Need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)

You got that kinda air that drives me insane
And sometime ya sure got me new
Ah, sometimes I feel like knockin' you down
But I would never pull that scene

Though I get tired
I know that you know
That I'd never do you wrong
'Cause when it's late and
I feel down
Turn the lights on low
And I will hold things
In my soul

'Cause I need ya, need ya
Need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)
I'm gonna need ya, need ya
Need ya, need ya, yeah
(Need ya, need ya)
Yeah, ooh yeah
