You know that bees need a little honey
Yes they do
You know poor man needs a little money
Yes he does
You know the flowers need some rain to grow
And just like two and two has got to be four
Baby I need you

Baby I need you (I need you)
I got to have you (I need you baby)
You know I need your lovin' (I need you baby)
I got to have you (I need you baby)

You know the birds need wings to fly
Yes they do
To get up high in the sky
You know a man needs a will to try
Yes he does
So give him just a little bit
You know a fish needs water to swim
And just like a tree needs bark to live
Well I need you

You know that I need you (I need you)
I got to have you (I need you baby)
I need you baby (I need you)
I got to have you (I need you baby)

Everybody has needed somebody
Since the beginning of time
Without your love
For me darling
I'd go out of my mind

You know a child needs room to play
Yes he does
So give him just a little bit
You know the world needs a brighter day
To stop these wars
It's got to happen
You know a fire needs a flame to burn
And just like you got to read a little, baby, to learn
You know that I need you

Baby, I need you (I need you)
I got to have you (I need you baby)
It's my heart baby (I need you)
Come on and get it (I need you baby)
Take it, take it, baby (I need you)
'Cause I need you (I need you baby)
You know I need you baby
