I Need You

I Need You

You said you like me as just a friend,

and a friend indeed that's what I've been.

You cried on my shoulder, many a time.

I'll be your friend now you be mine.

For I need you, beside me, to hide me, when I feel blue.

I need you, to hold me, to scold me, when I need a talking to.

Now that you know me,

Like the back of your hand.

You like me more than you first planned.

You say you see more in,

The letters that I send.

And you wanna be a whole lot more than friends.

But I need you, beside me, to hide me, when I feel blue.

I need you, to hold me, to scold me, when I need a talking to.

You ask for my heart,

and I want you to know,

I need you too much to let it go.

Just give me your hand,

your friendship hand,

And I pray someday you'll understand.

That I need you, beside me, to hide me, when I feel blue.

I need you, to hold me, to scold me, when I need a talking to.

I need you.
