[Verse 1]
You might wonder why I tag along behind you
When I feel vibrations that you don't want me 'round
Well, you can't hide from love because I'm gonna find you
Woah, you need me
You may not know it but you need me
[Verse 2]
I'll admit sometimes my pride is hard to swallow
But it breaks my heart to see you when you're down
So, like a little puppy dog I'll always follow
Because you need me
You may not think so but you need me, oh, yes
[Bridge]
You need a love that's really, really true
Nobody else could ever love you like I do
When you need love anytime, anywhere
Just look for me and I'll be there
[Verse 3]
Everybody calls this love infatuation
You know they all mean well but I know my own mind
Woah, and they don't understand the situation
Mm-hmm, you need me
You may not know it but you need me
[Refrain]
Hey, you need me, baby
You may not think so but you need me
Yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
My, my, my, you need me
You may not know it but you need me
Child, you need me
You may not think so but you need me
Don't you know that you need me?
Any place, any how, now, now
Hey, you know you need me
When the world has let you down, alright
Hey, you need me, baby
When you want a man around, alright
You know you need me
You may not know it but you need me
Oh, woah-ho, you need me
You may not know it but you need me
