NEED YOU
Sock Full of Pennyz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe all of the things that she said,
I could have sworn those words were just in my head.
I said I'm sorry but the damage is done,
And now away from me my baby has run.

I wish you were here,
I wish I could see
Your face next to mine

Babe I need you with me.
I thought it was real,
For eternity,
But now it's all gone
Babe I need you with me.

It seems to me like only yesterday,
I swear my baby, she didn't feel this way.

We chilled, we danced, we kissed, we never lost sight,
But now I just can't find my baby tonight.
