Baby I Need Your Loving

(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)
 Baby, I need your loving
 Baby, I need your loving
 Although you're never near
 Your voice I often hear
 Another day, another night
 I long to hold you tight
 'cause I'm so lonely
 Baby, I need your loving
 Got to have all your loving
 Baby, I need your loving
 Got to have all your loving
 Some say it's a sign of weakness
 For a man to beg
 Then weak I'd rather be
 If it means having you to keep
 'cause lately I've been losing sleep
 Baby, I need your loving
 Got to have all your loving
 Baby, I need your loving
 Got to have all your loving
 Empty nights echo your name
 Sometimes I wonder will I ever be the same?
 Oh yeah!
 When you see me smile
 You know things have gotten worse
 Any smile you might see, darling
 Has all been rehearsed
 Darling, I can't go on living without you
 This emptiness won't let me live without you
 Loneliness inside me, baby
 Makes me feel half alive
 Baby, I need your loving
 Got to have all your loving
 Baby, I need your loving
