I Need You - Maurice White

I can take a woman or leave her alone

Temporary lovers come and go

You’re the only woman that I’ve ever known

Who’s got me losing control

Oh, I don’t want to dream about you

Or wonder where are you

Oh, I wish my heart could beat without you

But have I gone too far

You say, I need you

You think that I need all the love you’re giving

And I need you

'Cause living alone isn’t really living at all

Never planned to make love a permanent thing

Keeping my emotions on the side

Kinda like my life just the way that it’s been

Girl, I’m taking my time

Oh, I don’t want to miss you baby

But that’s the hardest part

Oh, I’m trying to resist you baby

But have I gone too far

You say, I need you

You think that I need all the love you’re giving

And I need you

'Cause living alone isn’t really living at all

Who decides which one we love

Or when we’re going to fall

I don’t need two hands to hold

Two lips to whisper

I need you

Like the air that I breathe through an open window

I need you

I can’t let you leave and I won’t pretend no more
