I need someone whoa how I need someone 
I need someone, someone like you, you, you 

Today my love has gone away 
He won't be back he wants it that way 
An' I need someone to take his place 
Someone with a warm embrace 
He promised me he would be [bad word] 
Yeah, he said I love no one but you 
But here I stand, I'm all alone 
With nothin' to do but to stay at home 

An' I need someone, oh how I need someone 
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you 

Yeah, we used to travel all around an' around 
Yeah, we always went from town to town 
But since my baby been gone away 
I haven't had haven't had a happy day
Even though we were together for so long
I can't imagine what went wrong
Here we are so far apart
And now he's thinking that he's so smart

I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Oh, oh I need someone
Yeah, I really need someone
I need someone like you
Oh yes, I do baby

I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you
