Please, listen, baby, try and understand
As sure as a woman needs a man
I need you baby, I just wanted you then
But I'm in love with you now

I walk the floor sprinkled with tears since you've been gone
Oh, it'd seem like a thousand years
I need you baby, I just wanted you then
But I'm in love with you now

True love like yours is so hard to find
If you don't come back baby, Lord knows I'll lose my mind
I need you baby, I just wanted you then
But I'm in love with you now

He loved other women and I love only you
But you fall on him, Lord, like the morning dew
I need you baby, I just wanted you then
But I'm in love with you now

Do you care for me less than you did before ?
Or don't you love me at all anymore ?
I need you baby, I just wanted you then
But I do love you now
