I Need You
Ben Liebrand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes cry
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes cry

You tell me that you love me every day
When we're alone I really feel in love
But when you're out with friends I see a change
You treat me bad, I feel like second best
I want your love (I want your love)
Give me your love, girl (give me your love)
That's how I feel, I want to be real
I want your love (I want your love)
Give me your love, girl (give me your love)
I need your touch and I, I owe you so much

A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes cry
(Oh) A-E (I really care)A-E-I (I really care) O-U-U
(I really care, care, care) I sometimes lie

Do you realize some things you say
I know you do, it makes me so confused
I'm sure this ain't the way that love should be
Let's get it right, it's much too good to lose

I want your love (I want your love)
Give me your love, girl (give me your love)
That's how I feel, I want to be real
I want your love (I want your love)
Give me your love, girl (give me your love)
I need your touch and I owe you so much

A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes lie
(Girl) A-E (I really care)A-E-I (I really care) O-U-U
(I really care, care, care) I sometimes lie
(Girl) A-E (I really care)A-E-I (I really care) O-U-U
(I really care, care, care) I sometimes lie

I need your love, I want your love, give me your love (give me your love)
I need your love, I want your love, give me your love

Girl (girl), I know I owe you so much
But I can't pay you
With just, with just one touch
And girl, I know you care
I'll never love another
To that, to that I'll swear

A-E-A-E (I owe you girl) I-O-U-U, I sometimes lie, yeah




A-E-A-E (I owe you girl) I-O-U-U, (owe you girl) I sometimes cry (oh)
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ben Liebrand's song "I Need You" discuss the complexities of a romantic relationship. The chorus of the song features the repetition of the nonsensical phrase "A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U," which is followed by the admission that the singer "sometimes cry" and "sometimes lie." The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner is inconsistent in the way they treat them. The singer states that when they are alone, they feel loved, but when their partner is with friends, there is a noticeable change in their behavior. The singer feels like they are not the priority, as they are treated poorly and made to feel like they are "second best."


However, the singer still wants their partner's love and touch. The lyrics express the desire to "be real" with their partner and to have a relationship that is "too good to lose." The song culminates in a declaration that the singer owes their partner a great deal, but cannot repay them with just one touch. They promise to love only the person they are with, and the song ends on a repetition of the chorus.


Overall, "I Need You" explores the challenges of being in a relationship where one feels neglected or ignored at times. The lyrics express a desire for consistency and love, while also acknowledging the complexity of human emotions and relationships.
