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
