Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rain, it begins to fall
But I know what I need
But I don't have it all
I'm needin' someone like you
That I just wanna do love to
Baby, baby, I need you tonight
Outside my window, ooh
It's lonely and cold
But inside my heart there's a fire, baby
And it's burnin' out of control
Burnin' for someone like you
That I just wanna do love to
Baby, baby, yeah, I need you tonight
Yeah, your love's comin' to me
Just like a wolf howlin' at the moon
But that just doesn't do me
If I can't get you soon
I'm callin' for someone like you
That I just wanna do love to
Baby, baby, I need you tonight
Baby, baby, baby, I need you tonight
Yeah, I need you [Incomprehensible]
