Written by Willie Dixon.

I need someone's hand, to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms, to hold and squeeze me tight
Now when the night begins, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad.

I need some lips, to feel next to mine
I need someone to stand up, and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low, and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad.

So why don't you give it up, and bring it home to me
Or write it on a piece of paper baby, so it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me, and stop driving me mad
Oh because I, I need your love so bad.

I need your soft voice, to talk to me at night
I don't want you to worry baby,
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, bring it to me
Because I need your love so bad.
