Lyrics

I Need You

We used to laugh, we used to cry

We used to bow our heads then, wonder why

And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on

And make the best of what you've 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 knowing you were thinking of me

And 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, I need you

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 like the flower needs the rain

You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again

You know I need you, I need you

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
