I Need You

[Intro: Frankie Beverly]
I need you, ooh
I need you, ooh, oh, oh

[Verse 1: Frankie Beverly]
Like the flowers need the rain
Like a blind man needs his cane
I need you
Like the darkness needs the night
And the moonglow needs the light
I need you
Like the children need to play
They laugh and sing from day to day
Ooh, I need you

[Refrain: Frankie Beverly & Maze]
I found out about you (I found out about you)
I can't live without you, ooh ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2: Frankie Beverly]
Like a person needs a soul
Like the winter needs the cold
I need you
Like the fire needs the air
I won't burn unless you're there, you're there
Ooh, I need you
Like a baby needs to cry
If you go, I swear I'll die
I need you

[Refrain: Frankie Beverly & Maze]
I found out about you (I found out about you)
I can't live without you, no no, no no
(Oh, I need you, I need you)

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge: Frankie Beverly & Maze]
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Mmm, yes, yes, yes)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Ooh, ooh)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Ooh, ooh ooh)

[Verse 3: Maze]
Like a person needs a soul
Like the winter needs the cold
Like a baby needs to cry
If you go, I swear I'll die

[Refrain: Frankie Beverly & Maze]
Ooh ooh, I found out about you (I found about you)
And I can't live without you, no, no
(Oh, I need you, I need you)
