I came home the other night
Much to your surprise
The blinds were down, the lights were dim
And love was in your eyes
The table lit by candlelight
A record playing low
And from the room I heard a voice
A voice I didn't know
Say, "I need you, I need you"
Can you imagine how I felt
To know that someone else
Was making love to you in there
It should have been myself
I couldn't speak, I couldn't cry
My heart was filled with woe
And as I turned to walk away
I heard his voice again
Say, "I need you, I need you"
I felt so sad, I had to take a walk outside
To find out what went wrong and if I'd really tried
To love you girl and be there when you needed me
In spite of what you done, I love you hopelessly
You've got such a pretty face
Is what appealed to him
But he don't know you like I do
His looks and everything
You say that you love me
Now just look at what you done
'Cause you've got one boy in your arms
Another on the run
'Cause I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you
