You Need Me

(album: Joe South - 1971)

You might wonder why I tag along behind you
When I feel vibrations that you don't want me 'round
Well, you can't hide from love because I'm gonna find you
Whoa, you need me
You may not know it but you need me

I'll admit sometimes my pride is hard to swallow
But it breaks my heart to see you when you're down
So like a little puppy dog I'll always follow
Because you need me
You may not think so but you need me
Ah, yes

You need a love that's really, really true
Nobody else could ever love you like I do
When you need love anytime, anywhere
Just look for me and I'll be there

Everybody calls this love infatuation
You know they all mean well but I know my own mind
Whoa, and they don't understand the situation
Mm-hmm, you need me
You may not know it but you need me
Hey, you need me, baby
You may not think so but you need me
Yeah, yeah

My, my, my, you need me
You may not know it but you need me
Child, you need me
You may not think so but you need me
Don't you know that you need me?
Any place, any how, now, now
Hey, you know you need me
When the world has let you down, alright
Hey, you need me, baby
When you want a man around, alright
You know you need me
You may not know it but you need me
Oh, whoa, whoa, you need me
You may not know it but you need me
