Born, I need you I need you,
My dearest, I'm writing you this letter,
hoping that things for you, wherever you are, is
Not too much has happened to me since you left,
gotten a little older and a little wiser.
And I have a few little problems,
so I've been going to see this advisor.
Most of my days, I can't seem to eat
Most of my nights, I can't sleep
I have this lingering pain in my chest
My doctor calls it heart trouble
said I needed a rest, but I know what I need,
boy I need you. I tried to pretend
that you don't exist and blink you out of my mind,
nightmares of a lonely wo man
The times that you played and stayed out
Late at night, believe it, sugar,
obligated and so uptight.
I remember clearly when we slept apart,
me in the bed and you on the couch,
sometimes for days without
the love that you needed,
following those liberated women.
Boy, I need you. I need you.
Ooh, yes, oh, yes, I need you
Yes, I was depressed and upset
And like a fool, I took it out on you for spite
So tell me, do you have any kids now?
If so, are they all right?
none of the men that I see seem to satisfy me.
Oh, they're sweet, nice, thoughtful, and kind,
but I can't return their love.
You see, you've got my heart and mind I remem
ber being on my knees the day you left
And I remember how you smiled and
gave me that kiss of living death
But I'll go on somehow, up or down
You see, really doesn't matter,
Please think of me every now and then.
Whether you're near or far.
This is an unaddressed letter.
You see, I really don't know where you are.
