Before I Even Knew Your Name (I Needed You) Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

I needed you
To tell me I was right
To tell me someone else has spent
As many empty nights

To say if I was crazy
You were crazy too
To let me know I′m not alone
I needed you

How I needed you
To teach me how to laugh
To reach me when I couldn't see
How much I really had

To say if I kept trying
I could still pull through
But no one cared
And I was so scared
Oh, how I needed you


Before I even knew your name
Before I knew what love could be
Or even dreamed you′d come to me

To tell me dreams
Could really still come true
I needed you

And I
I need you now
As much as I did then
To show me what I still don't know
To cheer me up again

I've gotten by without you
But I′ve still learned something new
To be the best
That I can be

Oh, I
I still need you
I still need you
