Well i've never seen no reason
To go running round the houses
Go beating round the bushes
When i've got something to say
And I may not be the perfect catch
I'm idle and obscene
But open up your heart
Take me in and let me stay

Cause I need you
Like a river needs a stream
From the mountains to the sea
I need you
And I need you like a desert needs the rain
From the forest to the plains
I need you

Well I might seem brash and confidant
A thousand things I'm really not
And I know you're never certain
If I'm the straight man or the clown
But I'll tell you how I see it
And I hope that you'll believe me
Cause I'll spend my life on bended knees
If you keep me around

Cause I need you
Like a story needs an end
As a lover and a friend
I need you
And I need you
Like a fire needs a spark
To burn away the dark
I need you

But if the world should fall apart tomorrow
And if the stars came crashing from the sky
A hurricane, the deepest flood
Fire, famine, streams of blood
I could weather anything
If you were by my side

Cause I need you
Like a body needs a heart
I knew it from the start
I need you
And I need you
Can't you see it in my eyes
When will you realise
That i need you x2

I need you x4
