Lyrics:
Ain't no need to worry
Ain't no use to cry
'Cause I'll be comin' home soon
To keep you satisfied
You know I get so lonely
That I feel I can't go on
And it feels so good inside, baby
Just to call you on the telephone
I said...
(Chorus)
Ooh baby, I love you
What more can I say
Ooh baby, I need you
I miss you more everyday
I woke up early this morning
And sun came shining down
And it found me wishin' and hopin'
Mama, you could be around
Well ,you know that I need you
More than the air that I breathe
And I guess I'm just trying to tell you woman
Oh, what you mean to me
(Chorus)
I'm trying to tell you I love you
In each and every way
I'm trying to tell you I need you
Much more than just a piece of lay
(Chorus)
Ooh baby, I love love love love you
What more can I say
Ooh baby I need your sweet lovin
I miss you more and more every day
Ooh baby I love
Ooh baby baby I need
