I NEED SOMEBODY (WHO LOVES ME LIKE I LOVE YOU)

Lyrics and music by Winston Apple

Somewhere out there, there is somebody who
Would give anything for a love like the love I have for you
I know you love me, but not as much as I need   
I need so much more love than you’ve been giving me     
Your heart runs cool and I’m burning with desire
You light a candle when I need a raging fire
I know it’s time for me to face up to the truth
I need somebody who loves me like I love you

How can I blame you?
You feel the way you feel
And I believe you when you tell me that your love for me is real
But you don’t need me, you’re so self-contained
And knowing you don’t need me is driving me insane
How can I give my love to anybody else?
How can I find the love I need to save myself
When I don’t wanna try to find somebody new
And I need somebody who loves me like I love you

I can’t leave you even though I know I shouldn’t stay
I wish I didn’t need you so much
If I didn’t I could break away, maybe find somebody new
Someone who would want me as much as I want you to
Someone who would need me and love me like I love you

You’re driving me crazy
I’m losing my mind
How can I stay here and ever hope to find
The kind of love that we both know I need
The kind of love that we both know you’ll never have for me
My love for you seems to have sealed my fate
Still I keep hoping that someday things will change
I know you love me and that your love is true
Maybe someday you’ll want me and need me like I do you
Maybe someday you’ll be the one who loves me like I love you
