Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you won't let me love you
Say you wanna be kissed
How long I've been wanting
To hold you tight
Squeeze you right
In the middle of the night
For you I was crying out
You wake in the morning, yes it is
Feeling so bad
I know what you trouble is, baby
You need someone like me by your side
To hold you tight
Squeeze you right
In the middle of the night
For you I was crying out
Sometimes feel to shout
Everybody needs love
Say you wake up in the morning
Feeling so bad
I know what your trouble is, baby
You need someone like me by your side
To hold you tight
Squeeze you right
In the middle of the night
For you I was crying out
Sometimes feel to shout
Everybody needs love
