About I Need Your Loving

"I Need Your Loving" is the second single to be taken from the British synthpop group The Human League's 1986 album, Crash. This song was written by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, David Eiland, Langston Richey, Danny C. Williams and H. Randall Davis (a.k.a. Randy Ran); and like many others from the album, was aimed towards the United States market, where the first single from Crash, "Human", had reached number one. The single was recorded at the Flyte Time studios Minneapolis under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis while the Human League had been in residence from February until April 1986. In the UK it was promoted with a cheaply and badly filmed music video and it became the band's worst showing in the UK charts ever, only reaching number 72. The song was savaged by critics at the time and has now been largely disowned by the band since.

I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby
I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby

Moonlit sky casts shadows down
Romance in the air is strong

Something's telling me
I need your love

I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby
And that's a fact
I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby
Where are you at?

Looking glass reflects the moon
Your love's missing from this room

Baby, now I see
I need your love

I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby
And that's a fact
I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby
Where are you at?

I need your loving
I need your love
I need your kissing, baby
And that's a fact
I need your loving
I need your love
I need your kissing, baby
Where are you at?

Oh, I need your love
I need you tonight
Can't do without
Oh, I need your love

Oh, I need your love
So I can hug
And squeeze you tight
Oh, I need your love

Oh, I need your love
I need you tonight
Can't do without
Oh, I need your love

Oh, I need your love
So I can hug
And squeeze you tight
Oh, I need your love

Baby
Come on home to me

I need your love

I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby
And that's a fact
I need your loving
I need your kissing, baby
Where are you at?

I need your loving
I need your love
I need your kissing, baby
I need your loving
I need your love
I need your kissing, baby
And that's a fact
That's where I'm at
Baby

I need your loving
I need your love
I need your kissing, baby
Now I know what
I've been missing
I need your loving
I need your love
I need your kissing, baby
