I Need You So Lyrics

[Verse]
I need you so (I need you so)
To keep me happy
If I can't have you
I cannot go on (I can't go on)

I need your arms (I need your arms)
Around me tightly
Yes, I miss them nightly
When you're not at home (you're not at home)

[Pre-Chorus]
When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door (knock upon the door)

[Chorus]
When you leave me (when you leave me)
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry (please, please come back)
'Cause I need you so (I need you so)

[Pre-Chorus]
When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door (knock upon the door)
[Chorus]
When you leave me (when you leave me)
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry (please, please come back)
'Cause I need you so (I need you so)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
