I Need You
Author: George Harrison; Lead vocal: George Harrison

You don't realize how much I need you,
Love you all the time and never leave you.
Please come on back to me.
I'm lonely as can be.
I need you.

Said you had a thing or two to tell me.
How was I to know you would upset me?
I didn't realize as I looked in your eyes
You told me.

Oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore.
That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore.

Please remember how I feel about you,
I could never really live without you,
So, come on back and see just what you mean to me.
I need you.
