I can take a woman
Or leave her alone
Temporary lovers
Come and go

You're the only woman
That I've ever known
Who's got me losing control

Oh, I don't want to
Dream about you
Or wonder where you are

Oh, I wish my heart
Could beat without you
But have I gone too far?

You say, I need you
You think that I need
All the love you're giving

And I need you
'Cause living alone
Isn't really living at all

Never planned to make
Love a permanent thing
Keeping my emotions
On the side

Kinda like my life just
The way that it's been
Girl, I'm taking my time

Oh, I don't wanna
Miss you baby
But that's the hardest part

Oh, I'm trying to
Resist you baby
But have I gone too far?

You say, I need you
You think that I need
All the love you're giving

And I need you
'Cause living alone
Isn't really living at all

Who decides which one we love
Or when we're going to fall?
I don't need two hands to hold
Two lips to whisper

You say, I need you
You think that I need
All the love you're giving

And I need you
'Cause living alone
Oohhh

I need you
You think that I need
All the love you're giving

I need you
Like the air that I breathe
From an open window

I need you
I can't let you leave and
I won't pretend no more
