if you needed somebody

should have told you by now

but i can't find the words

oh no

if i could show you somehow

but i don't have the nerve

oh yeah

you don't see me looking at you

how can love be so blind

somehow you don't notice me

sooner or later there will come a time

baby

if you need somebody

the way that i need you

if you wanted somebody

the way that i want you

oh yeah

the way that i want you

if i could hold you tonight

it would last me forever

but the time's never right

when will we be together

oh no

if i could make you understand

what you're doing to me

maybe there will come a time

when sooner or later i will make you see

baby

ooh

if i could tell you now

the way you make me feel

ooh

if i could show you somehow

don't you know my lovin' is oh so real

i need you

i want you

i gotta tell you

the way that i need you

and if you wanted somebody

the way that i want you.
