I was colder before we met
Heart was trampled on like a welcome mat
And those things can be hard to forget
But don't hold it against me be babe

And I've tried every way to say it
But there's something missing in the language
To tell you all the things I'm feeling
To tell you

I didn't know that I needed you
Didn't know that I needed you now
I didn't know that I needed you
Didn't know that I needed you now
But I did then and I still do
Cause there'll never be no one like you
I didn't know that I needed you
But I needed you

You can blame it all on happenstance
When you talk about me to your friends
But this is no coincidence
I'm burning up with love for you babe

But you didn't look at me as someone incomplete
Or take off running when I was hard to read
If there's one thing that I could tell you
Then I'd tell you

I didn't know that I needed you
Didn't know that I needed you now
I didn't know that I needed you
Didn't know that I needed you now
But I did then and I still do
Cause there'll never be no one like you
I didn't know that I needed you
But I needed you
