"Baby I'm A-Want You"

(As recorded by Bread)
DAVID GATES

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm-a prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin'
Beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm-a prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin'
Beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you
Oh it took so long to find you baby
Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you.
