I Need You America (#9 in 1972)

I used to laugh
I used to cry
I used to bow my head then wonder why

But now you’re gone
I guess I’ll carry on
And make the best of what you’ve left to me
Left to me, left to me

    I need you
    Like the flower needs the rain
    You know I need you
    Guess I’ll start it all again
    You know I need you
    Like the winter needs the spring
    You know I need you
    I need you


And every day
I’d laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me



Refrain, Repeat
