I thought that you should go
What were you worth to me
I thought I'd find another girl
As soon as I was free

But then I saw you and I nearly died
Standing in the arms of mister nice
So finally he'd got you - it all became so clear
Your lips were nearly touching - it was more than I could bear

I need you
I need you and I need to know you're mine
I need you
I need you like the lyric needs a line

I knew that you loved me
I didn't feel the same
While you were being true to me
I was playing games

But then I saw you and nearly died
Standing in the arms of mister nice
So finally he'd got you - it all became so clear
Your lips were nearly touching - it was more than I could bear

I need you
I need you and I need to know you're mine
I need you
I need you like the lyric needs a line
