Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins, whoa, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad
I need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up, to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low, and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad
So why don't you give it up, baby and bring it home to me
Or write it on a piece of paper, woman, so it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me, and stop drivin' me mad
Whoa, because I, I need your love so bad
Need a soft voice, just to talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, come on bring it to me
'Cause I need, your love so bad
Baby, I need, I need, woman, I need your love so bad
