"Gotta Have You" lyrics

"Gotta Have You"

Standing at the window waitin' for the light
Staring down the barrel of a rainy night
Mr. Walker help me kill the pain
Red is his color and Johnny's his name
Help me kill the pain...

I gotta have you
Nothin's ever gonna be right if I don't have you
Another string of these lonely nights ain't never gonna do
When I let you get away from me, I was a fool in the first degree
And I gotta have you

I used to listen to your heartbeat every night
It was such a good love and it felt so right
And I still don't know what made me stray
But I took you for granted and I gave you away
I gave you away...

I gotta have you
Nothin's ever gonna be right if I don't have you
Another string of these lonely nights ain't never gonna do
When I let you get away from me, I was a fool in the first degree
And I gotta have you... You

I feel like I'm livin' on borrowed time
I got a damn good reason for walking the line
I keep prayin' for the ringin' of the telephone
I'm gonna hope these tears will bring you home
Won't you please come home, yeah

'Cause I gotta have you
Nothin's ever gonna be right if I don't have you
Another string of these lonely nights ain't never gonna do
When I let you get away from me, I was a fool in the first degree
And I gotta have you

Nothin's ever gonna be right if I don't have you
Another string of these lonely nights ain't never gonna do
When I left you get away from me, I was a fool in the first degree
And I gotta have you

Nothin's ever gonna be right if I don't have you
Another string of these lonely nights ain't never gonna do
When I let you get away from me, I was a fool in the first degree
And I gotta have you
