Here I am, I'm in the wrong bed again It's a game I just can't win There you are breathin' soft on my skin, yeah Still you won't let me in Why save your kisses for a rainy day Baby let the moment take your heart away Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah Have you ever wanted someone You just couldn't have Did you ever try so hard That your world just fell apart Have you ever needed someone so bad And to the girl I gotta have I gotta have you baby There you go, midnight promises again, yeah But they're broken by the dawn You want to go further, faster every day, baby But in the morning you'll be gone And I'm alone Why save your kisses for a rainy day Baby let the moment take your heart away Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah Have you ever wanted someone You just couldn't have Did you ever try so hard That your world just fell apart Have you ever needed someone so bad Every dream I dream is like Some kind of rash 'n' reckless scene To give out such crazy love You must be some kind of drug And if my time don't' ever come For me you're still the one Damned if I don't, damned if I do I gotta get a fix on you Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah Have you ever wanted someone You just couldn't have Did you ever try so hard That your world just fell apart Have you ever needed someone so bad Have you ever wanted someone Did you ever try so hard That your world just fell apart Have you ever needed someone so bad And to the girl I gotta have I gotta have you baby It's a game I just can't win Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah Have you ever wanted someone
