(Dave Robbins, Van Stephenson, Desmond Child)

All by myself

I was fine

No one else to remind me

Of all my pain inside

You looked at me

And I knew

You would be

The last thing I needed in my life

Oh I need you

Girl I need you

But I know it's gonna hurt

'Cause you love is gonna tear me apart

Oh I need you

Girl I need you

But I know we shouldn't start

'Cause I need you

Like a hole in my heart

Don't smile that smile

Say those words

Knowing I'll wanna touch you

Then it will be too late

Just walk away

Don't look back

Let's just say that we're so much

Better off not temptin' fate

Oh I need you

Girl I need you

But I know it's gonna hurt

'Cause you love is gonna tear me apart

Oh I need you

Girl I need you

But I know we shouldn't start

'Cause I need you

Like a hole in my heart

I've been in and out of love

And I thought I had enough

but there's nothin' in this world

that I can do 'cause

I need you

Girl I need you

but I know it's gonna hurt

'Cause your love is gonna tear me apart

Oh I need you

Girl I need you

But I know we shouldn't start

'Cause I need you

Like a hole

Like a bullet through my soul

Girl I need you like a hole in my heart

HEY
