I Need You (1971) Lyrics

We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then wonder why
But now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you left to me
Left to me, left to me. 

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowin' you were thinkin' of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you, I need you
