Wait a minute before you walk away
Let me finish, I’ve got a lot to say
Baby, I’m not gonna tolerate
This game that you play
You’ll regret it if you desert me this way
When there’s nobody to dry your eyes
Suddenly you’re gonna realize

Don’t you know you need me?
Don’t you see?
Believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby, remember, you need me

Honey, listen
Don’t make a big mistake
I’m in your system
You really can’t escape, no, no
When there’s nobody to hold your hand
Suddenly you’re gonna understand

Don’t you know you need me?
Don’t you see?
Believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby, remember, you need me
Don’t you know you need me?
Don’t you see?
Got to believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby, remember, you need me

No one understands you like I do
After everything that we’ve been through
Baby, you can turn around and leave
But I know that you’ll keep coming right back to me
Yeah darling, yeah, whoa

Don’t you know you need me?
Don’t you see?
Got to believe me
That before you act so hastily
Baby, remember, you need me
Don’t you know you need me?
(You need me, baby, you need me)
Don’t you see?
Believe me
Now, before you act so hastily
Baby, remember, you need me
Don’t you know you need me?
Don’t you see?
Believe me
Baby, remember, you need me
Don’t you know you need me?
Don’t you see?
Believe me
