I can take a woman or leave her alone Temporary lovers come and go You're the only woman that I've ever known Who's got me losing control Oh, I don't want to dream about you Or wonder where are you Oh, I wish my heart could beat without you But have I gone too far You say, I need you You think that I need all the love you're giving And I need you 'Cause living alone isn't really living at all Never planned to make love a permanent thing Keeping my emotions on the side Kinda like my life just the way that it's been Girl, I'm taking my time Oh, I don't want to miss you baby But that's the hardest part Oh, I'm trying to resist you baby But have I gone too far You say, I need you You think that I need all the love you're giving And I need you 'Cause living alone isn't really living at all Who decides which one we love Or when we're going to fall I don't need two hands to hold Two lips to whisper I need you Like the air that I breathe through an open window I need you I can't let you leave and I won't pretend no more
