I'm the One Songtext

von Smokey Robinson

Now you say every time you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
You just sit there in a daze reminiscing
'Cause you know some other lips he's been kissing
Now when you need the love he's never shown you
Come 'round here
And when you need some loving arms to hold you
Come 'round here
Now I may not be the one you want
But I know I'm the one you need
Said, I may not be the one you want
But I know I'm the one you need
Your life stands still the minute he goes
You count the hours just hoping he shows
Girl, can't you see while you're longing for his touch
That I'm the one who loves you so much
While you're longing for his embrace
You're all alone there with tears on your face
Now when you feel the need to cry to someone
Cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone
Lean on me
Now I may not be the one you want
Oh, but I sure 'nuff the one you need
Oh, baby, I may not be the one you want
Ooh, but I know I'm the one you need
Now the days, the days, the days you sit alone by yourself
He's out fooling 'round with somebody else
Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
Just waiting till he has time for you
Now when the loneliness gets hard to bear, girl
Come 'round here
And when you need a little tender loving care, girl
Come 'round here
Now I may not be the one you want
Ooh, but I know I'm the one you need
