The Temptations — Loneliness Has Made Me Realize It’s You That I Need

[Verse 1: David Ruffin] Ooh, lonely man am I Ever since you said goodbye Girl, I know that I should have woke up 'Cause I see it now that we've broke up Your farewell kiss is haunting me My tooting lips cry out constantly Let your heart, let your heart be your guide Forget about your foolish pride [Pre-Chorus: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)] Starting tomorrow I keep telling myself (I need ya; baby, I need ya) I'm gonna get out and find somebody else (I need ya; baby, I need ya) Somebody that's sweet and kind (I need ya; baby, I need ya) Who will erase you out of my mind [Chorus: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)] But tell me, how could I find somebody new, baby? (It's you that I need) When my two arms keep reaching out for you? (It's you that I need) And my two lips keep right on repeating It's you that I need (Baby, I need you) [Verse 2: David Ruffin] You know that even when I close my eyes to forget ya I see your face and your memories too Girl, I've never felt this loneliness before And hoo, girl, I just can't take it no more Every night a million tears I shed Girl, next morning going out of my head Just take a good look and you'll see What this loneliness is doing to me [Bridge: David Ruffin & The Temptations] Baby, it's you that need Don't you know that it's you that I need? Oh, I can't take this loneliness It's you that I need Oh baby, I need ya It's you that I need; baby, I need ya [Outro: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)] Some fool I'm gonna be no more 'Cause I'll soon be knocking, knocking on your door Gonna get down on my bended knees Beg and plead, girl, come back to me It's you that I need (Every night a million tears I shed) Girl, it's you that I need (Very soon going out of my head) Girl, take a good look and you'll see What does this loneliness is doing to me
