My love (my love), my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), I feel so tight
My love (my love), my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), just how I like

I know you know
What exactly's on my mind
I can't help myself
Part of how I feel tonight
Won't make excuses
I just want you inside, baby
We don't need to
Talk about no promises

My love, my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), I feel so tight
(I really, really need)
My love (my love), my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), just how I like

Let's just pretend
That we have no more tomorrow
Can we make love
Like it's our last time, baby?
Let's not get too
Soft and gentle with it 'cause
I am not feelin'
In no mood to play around

My love, my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), I feel so tight
(I really, really need)
My love (my love), my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), just how I like

I need you (ahh-ooh)
Like the flowers need the rain
I need you (ahh-ooh)
Like the blues need the pain
I need you (ahh-ooh)
Like the stars need the night
I need you (ahh-ooh)
Like the waves need the sea

My love (my love), my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), I feel so tight
(I really, really need, babe)
My love (my love), my need (my need)
Tonight (tonight), just how I like

I need you (ahh-ooh) (my love)
Like the flowers need the rain (my need)
I need you (ahh-ooh) (tonight)
Like the blues need the pain (I feel so tight)
I need you (ahh-ooh) (my love)
Like the stars need the night (my need)
I need you (ahh-ooh) (tonight)
Like the waves need the sea (just how I like)

My love (my love), my love
My love, my love

I need you (ahh-ooh) (my love)
Like the flowers need the rain (my need)
I need you (ahh-ooh) (tonight)
Like the blues needs the pain (I feel so tight)
(Ahh-ooh) (my love)
Like the stars need the night (my need)
I need you (ahh-ooh) (tonight)
Like the waves need the sea (just how I like)
