Who needs you, To drive me out of my mind Who needs you, I'd like to know Who needs you To give me chills when I'm well How fast can a helpless heart go I know dear, I love you more than a lot But oh! What I've got to go through And so dear, I guess the answer is simply Who needs you, I do Each time we kiss goodnight I find that I get so excited I can't sleep at night I've lost my appetite No appetite, no sleep at night I know dear, I love you more than a lot But oh! What I've got to go through And so dear, I guess the answer is simply Who needs you, who needs you, I do
