I wish that you could read my mind And see the words I hide Sometimes a man's not man enough 'cause he's too full of pride I tried to live without you I didn't make it a day Without your love and you let me say I wanna lay my arms around you And tell you I love you Just like the roses need the water Baby I need you - baby I need you You've got a way to make me feel Like no one else before I watch you sleep and wonder why I closed an open door I tried to live without you I tried to make believe That I don't care about you and me I wanna lay my arms around you And tell you I love you Just like the roses need the water Baby I need you - baby I need you I wanna lay my arms around you And tell you I love you Just like the roses need the water Baby I need you - baby I need you
