BABY I NEED YOUR LOVIN'
written by Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland
performed by Johnny Rivers
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo
(originally sung by the Four Tops in the key of )
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby I need your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'cause I--'m so lonely
CHORUS:
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Verse 2:
Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I would rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep
(chorus)
Bridge:
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
Every night I call your name
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
Sometimes I wonder, girl, will I ever be the same?
Verse 3:
When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby I can't go on without ya
This lonliness won't let me live without ya
This emptiness inside me baby
Makes me feel half alive
(repeat chorus and fade)
