The Beatles - I Need You Lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"I Need You"

You don't realize how much I need you
Love you all the time and never leave you
Please come on back to me
I'm lonely as can be
I need you

Said you had a thing or two to tell me
How was I to know you would upset me?
I didn't realize as I looked in your eyes
You told me, oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore
That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore

Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
So, come on back and see just what you mean to me. I need you

But when you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore
That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore

Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
So, come on back and see just what you mean to me
I need you
I need you
I need you

Writer(s): George Harrison

George Harrison's girlfriend Pattie Boyd inspired him to write this song. It is the second song written by George Harrison that was recorded by the band. The first one was "Don't Bother Me".

"I Need You" is the only song title credited in the end credits of the film "Help!". George Harrison's voice is heard saying "I Need You by George Harrison" at 1:30:14. More of it, he says it again at 1:31:18. It was the only song in the film written by him, so, he jokingly wanted to draw more attention to this fact.
