Lyrics

Need You Now (Live At CMT Artists Of The Year Awards)

[Verse 1: Adele]

Picture perfect memories

Scattered all around the floor

Reaching for the phone 'cause

I can't fight it anymore

[Pre-Chorus: Both]

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

[Chorus: Both]

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now

[Verse 2: Darius Rucker]

Another shot of whiskey

Can't stop looking at the door, yeah

Wishing you'd come sweeping

In the way you did before

[Pre-Chorus: Both]

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

[Chorus: Both]

It's a quarter after one, I'm little drunk and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without

I just need you now

[Bridge: Both]

Yes, I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all

[Chorus: Both]

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now

And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now

[Outro: Both]

I just need you now

Oh, I need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

I just need you now
