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 Ooh, I don't wanna dream about you Or wonder where you are, ooh Ooh, I wish my heart could beat without you But have I gone too far, ooh You see, I need you You think that I need all the love you're giving But I need you Cause living alone isn't really living at all Baby, baby Never planned to make love a permanent thing Keeping my emotions on the side, whoa Kinda like my life, just the way that it's been Girl, I'm taking my time Ooh, I don't wanna miss you, baby But that's the hardest part, ooh Ooh, I'm trying to resist you, baby But have I gone too far You see, 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 Ooh, 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 You think that I need all the love you're giving And I need you Cause living alone, whoa I need you You think that I need all the love you're giving And I need you Like the air that I breathe from an open window I need you I can't let you leave And I won't pretend no more
