Now you say every time you need some affection The one you love goes in another direction And you just sit there in a daze reminiscing When you know some other lips he's been kissing
Now when you need the love he's never shown you Come round here And when you need some loving arms to hold you Come round here
Now I may not be the one you want Oh but I know I'm the one you need Said, "I may not be the one you want Oh but I know I'm the one you need"
Your life stands still the minute he goes You count the hours just hoping he shows Girl can't you see while you're longing for his touch That I'm the one who loves you so much While you're longing for his embrace You're all alone there with tears on your face
Now when you feel the need to cry to someone cry to me And when you feel the need to lean on someone lean on me Now I may not be the one you want but I sure 'nuff the one you need Oh baby I may not be the one you want Oh but I know I'm the one you need
Now the days the days you sit alone by yourself He's out fooling round with somebody else Leaving you alone here with nothing to do Just waiting till he has time for you
Now when the loneliness gets hard to bear girl Come round here And when you need a little tender loving care girl Come round here
Now I may not be the one you want But I know I'm the one you need
