I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you in the morning
I need you, you, you when my soul's on fire

 


Am                             F
Sometimes I feel, I feel a little sad inside
Am                                                G7                                                                          Riff

When my baby mistreats me, I never never have a place to hide, I need you!

(Instrumental Break)

 

Am                             F
Sometimes I feel, I feel a little sad inside
Am                                                G7                                                                          Riff

When my baby mistreats me, I never never have a place to hide, I need you,
You, you!
I need you, you, you!
I need you, you, you!
I need you, you, you!

 

 

(Cut)


You know people when you do find somebody, hold that woman, hold that
Man, love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold, squeeze and
Please that person, give 'em all your love, signify your feelings with
Every gentle caress, because it's so important to have the special
Somebody to hold, kiss, miss, squeeze, and please.


Riff


Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love
Someone to love (Someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (Sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (Sugar to kiss)
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you in the morning
I need you, you, you when my soul's on fire

 

"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... 
and we're wearing sunglasses...
...Hit it!"

 

My friends at St. Johns CofE Primary Academy, Wednesbury worked very hard on THAT Bb Chord! They made an excellent recording, with the backing track, that you can listen to if you press play!
