About (Come 'Round Here) I'm the One You Need

"(Come 'Round Here) I'm the One You Need" is a 1966 hit single by Motown group The Miracles, released on Motown Records' Tamla label. Unlike most Miracles songs, which were written and produced by the group themselves, "I'm the One You Need" was written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team Holland–Dozier–Holland, best known for their work with The Supremes and The Four Tops. Holland-Dozier-Holland had written and produced two previous Miracles singles: the Top 10 hit "Mickey's Monkey" and the Top 40 hit "I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying" (both 1963). "I'm the One You Need" was the final Miracles single released before lead singer Smokey Robinson was given star billing on all of the group's subsequent 45's. In this popular Miracles tune, Smokey Robinson, as the song's narrator, seeks to comfort a girl he obviously loves, who belongs to another man who cheats on her, and treats her badly: Now, You say..... Every time you need some affection The one you love goes in another direction more »

Ooh ooh
Now you say every time you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
And you just sit there in a daze reminiscing
When you know some other lips he's been kissing

Now when you need the love 
He's never shown you 
Come round here 
And when you need some loving arms 
To hold you 
Come round here 
Now I may not be the one you want 
Oh but I know I'm the one you need 
Said I may not be the one you want 
Ooh, but I know I'm the one you need

Your life stands still the minute he goes
You count the hours just hoping he shows
Girl can't you see while you're longing for his touch
That I'm the one who loves you so much
While you're longing for his embrace
You're all alone there with tears on your face

Now when you feel the need to cry to someone cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone lean on me
Now I may not be the one you want but 
I'm sure 'nough the one you need 
Oh baby I may not be the one you want 
Ooh, but I know I'm the one you need

Now the days the days you sit alone by yourself
He's out fooling 'round with somebody else
Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
Just waiting 'till he has time for you

Now when the loneliness 
Gets hard to bear 
Girl come round here 
And when you need a little tender loving care 
Girl come round here 
Now I may not be the one you want, ooh 
But I know I'm the one you need, ooh
