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
