Lyrics:	Well every single time I see you I start to feel this way It makes me wonder if I'm ever going to feel this way again? There's a picture and it's hangin' in the back of my head. I see it over and over I wanna hold you, love you in my arms and then I wanna need you 'coz I need to be with you to the end Then I hear myself reply "you've got to hold it in" This time, tonight (chorus) If only I had the guts to feel this way If only you'd look at me and want to stay If only I'd take you in my arms and say I won't go cause I need you 'Coz I need you Sit here waiting, wondering, hoping that it'll make this right 'Coz all I think about's your hands your face And all these lonely nights. There's a feeling that's screaming in the back of my head Sayin' over and over I wanna hold you, love you in my arms and then I wanna need you coz I need to be with you 'til the end Then I hear myself reply "should never let you in" This time, tonight (chorus) Please don't go cause I need you now I wanna hear you say we'll always be this way. Be in hand in hand for every night and every day I wanna scream and shout, just losing every doubt And all I care about is you and me and us and now Oh yeah, yeah ooo ooo oooooooo oh yeah ooo ooo oooooooo Yeah (chorus) Please don't go, cause I need you now Yeah, 'coz I need you If only yeah. 'coz I need you now If only, 'coz I need you, I need you If only, 'coz I need you If only, 'coz I need you If only, yeah, if only. . . 'coz I need you now. . . yeah
