[Verse 1]
I'll play the game
Who needs you anyway?
Without you, life is gray
Now I've got it made, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Easy as pie
Look how I pass you by
Ain't no tears in my eyes
I'm livin' a lie
I could cry, baby, you're my life
[Chorus]
Like a child needs love
Like a down needs up
Like the moon needs the sun
I need you
Like a fire needs flame
Like a scar needs pain
Like a well needs the rain
I need you
Yes, I do, yes, I do
[Verse 2]
You look at me
And see what you wanna see
You think I'm so fancy free
Ooh, I wish I could be, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Now that we are through
I'm playing the happy, happy fool
Pretending that I don't love you
What else can I do?
It's not true, girl, I still need you
[Chorus]
Like a child needs love
Like a down needs up
Like the moon needs the sun
I need you
Like a fire needs flame
Like a scar needs pain
Like a well needs the rain
I need your love
[Bridge]
(I need you) Need you every night
(I need you) In the morning light
(I need you) By my side, I need you
Yes I do, yes I do
[Chorus]
Like a child needs love
Like a down needs up
Like the moon needs the sun
I need you (Girl, I need you)
Like a fire needs flame
Like a scar needs pain
Like a well needs the rain
I need you (I need you)
