c'mon, now you've got some time
I wanna hear it cuz I need an answer
I know youth dies young
but our youth's just begun
and ain't it a beautiful day

cuz it's true, baby
I need you
I'm damned if i say i do
Gertrude would approve

i need you in the mornin
i need you in the silent afterglow
won't you let my lovin' show, baby

oh anyone can toe the line
except for me cuz I'm a disco dancer
all my life I've been
a gopher with a grin
my smile is fadin' away

cuz it's true, baby
i need you
to shatter the status q
Truman would approve

i need you in the mornin'
i need you in the sunshine, rain or snow
won't you let my lovin' show, baby

otherwise I don't want to hear it
you've got me talkin talkin talkin
well it's better than you
cuz I say I don't wanna fear it
that look that says exactly what you think of me
cuz that's when you would be free oh
from my love
my love

or I'm forever gonna be a bachelor
leave the steps of your house
get down to the courthouse

cuz it's true,
baby I need you I'm damned if I say, "I do"
Jesus would approve I need you in the morning I need you
in the scarlet afterglow oh won't you let my lovin' show
baby I need you-oo-ooo I need you to sustain my sorry soul
won't you let my lovin' show
baby I need you I need you I said

well it's better than you I need you-oo-ooo I need yoooou
I need you to get over my rainbow
