I Need You

Release date: 06 August 1965

You don't realise how much I need you,
Love you all the time and never leave you,
Please come on back to me, I'm lonely as can be, I need you.

Said you had a thing or two to tell me,
How was I to know you would upset me.
I didn't realise as I looked in your eyes

You told me, oh yes you told me
You don't want my lovin' anymore.
That's when it hurt me and feeling like this
I just don't go on anymore.

Please remember how I feel about you,
I could never really live without you,
So, come on back and see
Just what you mean to me
I need you.

But when you told me you don't want my lovin' anymore,
That's when it hurt me and feeling like this, I just can't go on anymore.

Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
Some come on back and see just what you mean to me,
I need you. I need you, I need you.
