I'm like a book upon your shelf
One of thousands hoping to be the next one you pick out
I'm like your shadow in the sun
I'm so attached to you I would not exist if you were gone
So hold me closer now
Hold me closer now
'Cause I can't make it on my own

I need you like a desert needs the rain
And I need you like the blood that's in my veins
No one else no one else will ever do
Yeah I need no one else but you
You're like a tatoo on my chest
Closer to my heart it's impossible to get
You are the melody I sing
Sweeter than the sweetest wine could ever be

So hold me closer now
Hold me closer now
'Cause I can't make it on my own
I need you like a desert needs the rain
And I need you like the blood that's in my veins
No one else no one else will ever do
Yeah I need no one else but you

My heart beats fast for you
And all my love is for you
My heart beats fast for you
And all my love is for you
I need you like the desert needs the rain
And I need you like the blood that's in my veins
No one else no one else will ever do
Yeah I need no one else but you
