Little Darling (I Need You)

About Little Darling (I Need You)

"Little Darling (I Need You)" is a 1966 single written and produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland and recorded and released by Marvin Gaye on the Tamla label. This song was released after the modest success of the Miracles-produced single "Take This Heart of Mine" in hopes that Gaye's work with the hit-making trio Holland-Dozier-Holland would bring him back to the pop top ten. Similarly conceived with the same musical background as their previous collaboration, "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", the song has the singer declaring to his woman to stay beside him promising her that he'll be "(her) number-one fool". While it reached the top forty of the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart peaking at number sixteen, it did not perform as well as "Take This Heart of Mine" on the pop charts, peaking at number 47. The song was subsequently recorded by the Flirtations in 1971, and in 1977 by The Doobie Brothers for their seventh studio album Livin' on the Fault Line.  more »

It's so hard lovin' you
But I just can't let you go 

Little darlin', I love you
Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', got to have you 

And if it means givin' up my pride
Oh, I'm gonna give it up, give it up
There's always one who loves more than the other
I don't mind, I don't mind
I'm willin' to pay the price
Have your love at any sacrifice 

Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I love you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', got to have you 

Only my pillow knows
How many tears I've cried
Only my heart knows
The awful hurt I feel inside
My life is so lonely
Waitin' for you to love me only
I'm willin', darlin' 

I'm willin' to pay the price
Have your love at any sacrifice 

Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', I love you
Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', got to have you 

Yeah, there was a time
Way back in your life
When I was the only one, only one
You'd better let this fool back in
Or you will be the lonely one
Darlin', I love you
Little darlin' I need you
