| Now you say every time you need some affection
|
| The one you love goes in another direction
|
| And you just sit there in a daze reminiscing
|
| When you know some other lips he’s been kissing
|
| Now when you need the love he’s never shown you come round here
|
| And when you need some loving arms to hold you come round here
|
| Now I may not be the one you want
|
| Oh But I know I’m the one you need
|
| Said I may not be the one you want
|
| Ooh but I know I’m the one you need
|
| Your life stands still the minute he goes
|
| You count the hours just hoping he shows
|
| Girl can’t you see while you’re longing for his touch
|
| That I’m the one who loves you so much
|
| While you’re longing for his embrace
|
| You’re all alone there with tears on your face
|
| Now when you feel the need to cry to someone cry to me
|
| And when you feel the need to lean on someone lean on me
|
| Now I may not be the one you want but I sure 'nuff the one you need
|
| Oh baby I may not be the one you want ooh but I know I’m the one you need
|
| Now the days the days you sit alone by yourself
|
| He’s out fooling round with somebody else
|
| Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
|
| Just waiting till he has time for you
|
| Now when the loneliness gets hard to bear girl come round here
|
| And when you need a little tender loving care girl come round here
|
| Now I may not be the one you want
|
| But I know I’m the one you need |
