i've met a lot of people, known to be real nice
who don't seem to get one lesson they can learn from life
always disappointed once they face reality
don't seem to know the difference between pride & dignity
but that's not you baby
you've had your heart broken too many times

i know the so-called good-hearted, shouting their frustrations in the streets
point their finger to the sinner & hide like cowards by the first defeat
i know you're not like them baby, they can't compare to you
you've got the key to my heart baby, you're a precious diamond too
and i won't let you go
you're the one i need to cure my troubled mind

i need you now baby & i can't quit no more
i need you now baby, nobody else worth living for

seen too many women beaten up by their men
men who'd sell their soul to the high priest of the ku klux klan
seen too many children tempted by the sound of a gun
in no time ready for killing, fighting wars that can never be won
i know it hurts you baby
and you know it hurts me too

i need you now baby & i can't quit no more
i need you now baby, nobody else worth living for

you've been hurt by your lovers, i've hurt some lovers too
i wish you'd done to others what others have done to you
now come over here baby and lay your burden down
no deeper blue than yours baby, time to choose your wedding gown
'cause i want you baby so bad, i can only resign to the call of love

i need you now baby & i can't quit no more
i need you now baby, nobody else worth living for
