Baby I’m-A Want You Lyrics

Baby, I’m-a want you
Baby, I’m-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I’m-a crazy
But I just can’t live without…

Your lovin’ and affection
Givin’ me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I’m a-prayin’
That you’ll always be a-stayin’ beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why…

Lately I’m a-prayin’
That you’ll always be a-stayin’ beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry…
You taught me why…

Baby, I’m-a want you
Baby, I’m-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby, I’m-a want you
Baby, I’m-a need you
