Wanting You

(album: Revolution! - 1967)

When I touch your hand don't you understand?
I've been wanting you so long
And how long can we wait? Girl, it seems so late
I've been wanting you so long

Girl it seems like years, no I can't hide my tears so long

When I sleep I find that I can't sleep 'cause you're on my mind
I've been wanting you so long
I wake up and then, I think of you once again
I've been wanting you so long

Girl, how long can this go on? you know I can't make it on my own, so long

I don't think you understand, girl, the world's an awful lonely place today
And a man can't make it by himself, he needs a sweet woman like you
Someone to hold his hand, touch his face, be waiting there at night
And when he's walking along the lonely streets, he knows he is going to walk through that door and find his woman there
He's going to grab her in his arms. He's going to hold her and he's going to love her so hard, so hard...
Girl, what the world needs is love, love, I need your love, we all need love...
