Yeah I've been with several women, count 'em 1 2 3
But there was not a single one who meant that much to me
Until you came along baby, you know I had it wrong I guess
Yeah the reasons were all noble, but I'd lost my touch
On my sleeve I held my heart and it became my crutch
Until you came along baby, I was down for the count I guess
Let me get it off my chest, now it's time to confess that I need you
If you find it in your heart and it isn't torn apart, if you wanna come around then please do
Well there was nothing to relay as they took my heart away
And my escape from all their thoughts was just see through
If my conscience is the cancer well then maybe that's my answer
Maybe I'll confess the fact that I need you
Well I've known a lot of women, but their names are crass
And the time we spent together felt like walking on glass
Until you came along baby, I played the same old song I guess
Let me get it off my chest, now it's time to confess that I need you
If you find it in your heart and it isn't torn apart, if you wanna come around then please do
Well nothing in my head could ever match what you had said
But if the thought was really dead, it could bleed through
I could wrestle with the truth that lies with all my wasted youth
But the only thing that's true is I need you
Yeah the only thing that's true is I need you
Oh the only thing that's true is I need you
