(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
