Now you say... everytime you need some affection The one you love goes in another direction You just sit back in a daze and miss him 'Cause you know some other lips, he's been kissing Now when you need the love he never showed 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 (honey, honey) But I know, I'm the one you need (honey, honey) Say now, I may not be the one you want (honey, honey) But, I know, I'm the one you need (honey, honey) Your life stands still the minute he goes You count the hours just hoping he shows Girl, can't you see while you're looking for his touch (honey, honey) That I'm the one who loves you so much (honey, honey) And while you're longing for his embrace (honey, honey) You're lonely with the tears on your face (honey, honey) 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 (honey, honey) But I'm sure 'nough the one you need (honey, honey) Now, I may not be the one you want (honey, honey) But I'm sure 'nough the one you need (honey, honey) Now, the day, the days, the days you sit round by yourself He's out fooling round with somebody else Leaving you alone here with nothing to do He's just waiting 'til he has time for you Now, when the loneliness gets hard to take, girl come 'round here And when you need a little tender lover care, girl come 'round here Now, I may not be the one you want (honey, honey) But, I'm sure 'nough the one you need (honey, honey) Now, I may not be the one you want (honey, honey) But, I know, I'm the one you need (honey, honey)
