I Need Love
Freeways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm not around you (Boy)
'Cause all I ever seem to
Do is drift away
In dreams about you
'Cause when I'm without you (Boy)
It always seems like
Part of me is missing baby
Sometimes I don't call
Like I don't care at all
But secretly, you're the only thing
That lifts me up
And makes me smile
When I'm unhappy
All you gotta do is call
And suddenly things don't really
Seem so bad at all
(Boy) I need you
(Boy) Adore you (Boy)
Gotta have you (Oh boy)
I want to feel your touch
This ain't no little crush
So come and get my love
Baby anything you want
Feeling you (Boy)
Fiending for you (Boy)
Just waiting on you (Boy)
When I see you (Oh boy)
I'm gonna wrap you up
Inside my love
And never let you go boy
Never let you go boy
My heart races when
My Motorola beeps
Or my cell rings
I just make a wish and if it's you
My whole day changes
'Cause when I know
You're thinking of me (Boy)
Heaven knows
Suddenly it's not so dismal baby
Sometimes I don't call
Like I don't care at all
But secretly, you're the only thing
That lifts me up
And makes me smile
When I'm unhappy
All you gotta do is call
And suddenly things don't really
Seem so bad at all
(Boy) I need you
(Boy) Adore you (Boy)
Gotta have you (Oh boy)
I want to feel your touch
This ain't no little crush
So come and get my love
Baby anything you want
Feeling you (Boy)
Fiending for you (Boy)
Just waiting on you (Boy)
When I see you (Oh boy)
I'm gonna wrap you up
Inside my love
And never let you go boy
Never let you go boy
I... (What?)
Need... (Who?)
You... (Uh huh, uh huh)
I want to feel your touch... (Why wouldn't you)
So come and get my love (Show me where it's at - now sing)
I... (What?)
Need... (Who?)
You... (Uh huh, uh huh)
I'm gonna wrap you up (Wrap me up)
And never let you go boy
Never let you go boy (Never let me go, girl)
(Boy) I need you
(Boy) Adore you (Boy)
Gotta have you (Oh boy)
I want to feel your touch
This ain't no little crush
So come and get my love
Baby anything you want
Feeling you (Boy)
Fiending for you (Boy)
Just waiting on you (Boy)
When I see you (Oh boy)
I'm gonna wrap you up
Inside my love
And never let you go boy
Never let you go boy
In Freeway's song "I Need Love," the singer expresses his strong feelings of love and dependence on his significant other. The song's lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply in love with his partner, to the point that he cannot function without them. He drifts off into dreams about his partner when he is not with them, and feels as though part of him is missing when they are apart. Despite this, he sometimes fails to communicate with his partner or show that he cares for them, but secretly they are the only thing that can lift him up and make him smile, even when he is unhappy.
The song's chorus repeatedly emphasizes the singer's need for his partner, using the repetition of "I need you," "I adore you," and "I gotta have you" to drive home the message. He wants to feel his partner's touch and expresses that this is not just a little crush, but a deep and intense love. The verses also touch on the idea of how just the thought of his partner can change his mood and outlook on life.
Overall, "I Need Love" is a poignant ode to the power of love and highlights the intense feelings that can come with falling deeply in love with someone.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't help it
I cannot control my feelings
When I'm not around you (Boy)
My thoughts revolve around someone special
'Cause all I ever seem to
I usually only
Do is drift away
Get lost in thought
In dreams about you
I imagine myself in scenarios with you
'Cause when I'm without you (Boy)
When I am not with that certain someone
It always seems like
It feels like
Part of me is missing baby
A part of me longs for that person's presence
Sometimes I don't call
I might not communicate with that person
Like I don't care at all
As if I am indifferent
But secretly, you're the only thing
Although, deep down that person is the only one
That lifts me up
That brings joy to my life
And makes me smile
That gives me happiness
When I'm unhappy
When I feel down
All you gotta do is call
All that person needs to do is contact me
And suddenly things don't really
Then everything doesn’t seem to
Seem so bad at all
Be as bad as it seemed before
(Boy) I need you
I require you
(Boy) Adore you (Boy)
Really admire and love you
Gotta have you (Oh boy)
Need to be with you
I want to feel your touch
I desire to feel your physical affection

Just waiting for you

Inside my love
With my affection
And never let you go boy
And never let go of that person
Never let you go boy
Forever hold on to that person
My heart races when
I feel excited when
My Motorola beeps
My cell phone signals
Or my cell rings
When I receive a call
I just make a wish and if it's you
If that special someone calls
My whole day changes
Then everything turns better
'Cause when I know
Because when it's apparent to me
You're thinking of me (Boy)
That I am on that someone's mind
Heaven knows
The heavens know
Suddenly it's not so dismal baby
Then life doesn't seem so depressing anymore
I... (What?)
Me?
Need... (Who?)
Desire and require
You... (Uh huh, uh huh)
That special someone
I want to feel your touch... (Why wouldn't you)
I desire to feel the sensation of your touch
So come and get my love (Show me where it's at - now sing)
So come and receive my love

Aretha does it again ! An 80’s classic hit, her voice is on fire and full of soul … No one does it like Miss Franklin ! ❤
Michael Williams
Today marks three years since Aretha Franklin passed away. I was 12 when this song was a hit, and I still enjoy it! Keep resting in peace, Queen Of Soul.

There is a reason Aretha is #1 on Rolling Stone's Top 200 All Time Greatest Singers List and this recording is PROOF! Aretha was simply on another level spiritually and emotionally. What a gift from God! 😇👍❤️🙏
