[Intro]
Yeah!
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
No, I'll never look back in anger
No, I'll never find me an answer
You promised me you'd keep in touch
I read your letter and it hurt me so much
[Chorus]
I said I'd never
Never be angry with you
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna feel like a stranger, no
'Cause I'd rather stay out of danger
I read your letter so many times
I got your meaning between the lines
[Chorus]
I said I'd never
Never be angry with you
[Bridge]
I must be strong so she won't know
How much I miss her
I only hope as time
Goes on, I'll forget her
My body's aching, can't sleep at night
I'm too exhausted to start a fight
And if I see her with another guy
I'll eat my heart out 'cause I love
Love, love, love her
[Verse 3]
Come on baby, let's get together
I'll love you, baby, I'll love you forever
I'm trying hard, to stay away
What made you change, what did I say?
[Refrain]
Ooh, I need your loving tonight
Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving, baby, tonight
(Hit me)
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Ooh, I need your loving tonight
[Verse 4]
No, I'll never, look back in anger
No, I'll never, find me an answer
Gave me no warning, how could I guess
I'll have to learn to forgive and forget
[Refrain]
Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving tonight
