"I Need You"

(As recorded by America)
GERRY BECKLEY

We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then wonder why
But now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me.

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need you.

And ev'ry day I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that I was put to blame
For ev'ry story told about me
'Bout me, about me.

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you, I need you.

Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you, I need you.

Like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you, I need you.

Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you, I need you.
