(b. holland/l. dozier/e. holland, jr.)
Although you're never near
you're voice i often hear
another day, another night
i long to hold you tight
'cause i'm so lonely
yes, i'm lonely
let my heart beats for you only
Baby, i need your loving
got to have all your loving
baby, i need your loving
got to have all your loving
Some say it's a sign of weakness
for a girl to beg
then weak i'd rather be
if it means having you to keep
'cause lately i been losing sleep
Baby, i need your loving
got to have all your loving
baby, i need your loving
got to have all your loving
Empty nights echo your name
sometimes i wonder will i ever be the same?
oh yeah!
when you see me smile
you know things has gotten worse
any smile you might see
has all been rehearsed
Darling, i can't go on without you
this emptiness won't let me live without you
this loneliness inside me, darling
makes me feel half alive
"baby, i need your loving
got to have all your loving
baby, i need your loving
got to have all your loving
