See how i´m walkin´
See how i`m talkin´
Notice everything in me
Feel the need, feel the need in me.
I need you by my side
To be my guide
See my arms are open wide
Feel the need, feel the need in me.
Every day I need
Every day I want
Without you i´d rather die
I need you constantly
Your love takes care of me
Your love is better to me than apple pie.
Just put your hand in mine
Love me all the time
Its just so plain to see
