THERE’S A STRING OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS OVER THE TABLE
AND A BROKEN BRIDE UNDER THE BRIDGE.
CLOWNS WITH A BROKEN LOOK,
MOUTHS WITH A BROKEN TOOTH.
WHAT’S A HAND WITHOUT FINGERS?
IS LIKE THE SKY WITHOUT STARS AND A LIE INTO YOUR EYES.
WELL, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE A BABY’S CRYING
I FALL ON MY KNEES AND IT HURTS, AND I BLEED,
I SING:
BABY I NEED YOU, BABY I NEED YOU SO.
BABY I NEED YOU, BABY I NEED YOU SO.
I’M FALLING LIKE THE POURIN’ RAIN.
BABY I NEED YOU SO.
OH, WHEN YOU NEED SOMEBODY.
OH, WHEN YOU MISS SOMEONE.
OH, WHEN YOU AIN’T GOT SUPPORT,
WHEN YOU FALL APART.
WHEN THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
YOU CRY ON YOUR KNEES AND IT HURTS, AND YOU BLEED,
AND SING:
BABY I NEED YOU, BABY I NEED YOU SO.
BABY I NEED YOU, BABY I NEED YOU SO.
I’M FALLING LIKE THE POURIN’ RAIN.
BABY I NEED YOU SO.
