[Verse 1]
I'm just a lonely girl looking for love
And I think I should tell you
You're the boy I'm thinking of
Come on and take me in your arms right now
'Cause
[Chorus]
(Baby, I need you) To change my darkness into light
(Baby, I need you) To slow my wrongs and praise my rights
But most of all, to hold me tight
[Verse 2]
Nights are so lonely without a hand to hold
And I really need you, honey
To hold me when my nights are cold
The door is open, baby
So walk on in, 'cause
[Chorus]
(Baby, I need you) To change my darkness into light
(Baby, I need you) To slow my wrongs and praise my rights
But most of all, to hold me tight
[Bridge]
I can't stand it no longer, I just got to let you know
Yes, I really need you, baby
And I'd like to tell you so
All you gotta do is let me in your heart right now
And I'll love you forever (Love you forever)
Yes, I'll love you forever
[Verse 3]
'Cause life is too short and sweet
To miss what you might've had
And I wish for just one thing
Oh, and I want you oh-so bad
Tonight your tender love will make me feel so great, yeah
[Chorus]
(Baby, I need you) To change my darkness into light
(Baby, I need you) To slow my wrongs and praise my rights
But most of all, to hold me tight
[Post-Chorus]
(Baby, I need you) Oh yeah, I need you
(Baby, I need you) Oh I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
So come on, come on and hold me tight
(Baby, I need you) Oh
