I don’t need to be told by you
I don’t need anyone bringing me down
I don’t need to be sold by you
I don’t need answers, I’ve been around

I just need you to hold me
Try as hard as I might
I’ll never need anyone more
than I need you tonight
Baby tonight, ooh
I’ll never need anyone more
than I need you tonight

I don’t need you to try for me
I don’t need someone to always be there
I don’t need you to cry for me
I don’t need anything more than my share

I just need you to hold me
Try as hard as I might
I’ll never need anyone more
than I need you tonight
Baby tonight, ooh
I’ll never need anyone more
than I need you tonight

Baby this isn’t something I planned on
Hey but this isn’t something I’ll fight

I just need you to hold me
Try as hard as I might
I’ll never need anyone more
than I need you tonight
Baby tonight, ooh
I’ll never need anyone more
than I need you tonight

Intro: AA EE DD 2x
A E D E 2x

Back in the summer of sixty-five
I was feeling more dead than alive
I was holding on to the radio
You know it really helped me get by
And, down the street she moved to the beat
Just an angel in her daddy’s car
And through my life she cut like a knife
And I’m still walking around with the scars…

Somewhere in the night
She’s reaching out and touching me
(Somewhere in the night)
Somewhere in the night
And I just can’t let it go
Somewhere in the night…
Ooh, ooh in the night, yeah

Seventeen caught in between
What I was and what I wanted to be
I was listening to no one
And nobody was listening to me
Then she said, oh baby I know how you feel
And what you need is more than a friend
You know that the first time that love feels real
It can never come your way again…

Somewhere in the night
She’s reaching out and touching me
(Somewhere in the night)
Somewhere in the night
And I just can’t let it go

And after all my friends think I’m crazy
Living in the past
But all you get to keep are the memories
You gotta make the good ones last

Somewhere in the night
She’s reaching out and touching me
(Somewhere in the night)
Somewhere in the night
And I just can’t let it go

Repeat Chorus to fade

Here I am, last of the romantics
Every time I get caught in the sway
I’m just a fool for a love song
But I wouldn’t have it any other way

The white boys and the black girls sang
The heartbreak kids kept dreaming
Through the thick flat light of a mid west night
The Detroit station came screaming…

And all I ever wanted, all you got to do
is, baby, just don’t say goodnight
till the man gets around to our song
Turn up the radio till this
one’s through
I got what I wanted, all I ever
wanted was you…

Take your time, make your mind up
Don’t say yes if you really don’t know
’Cause I can hold on just a little longer
And the night is still young, so let’s go…

You hold it all in your hands tonight
with your sweet surrender sighs
French kisses ‘neath the streetlight
You never win if you never try…

And all I ever wanted, all you got to do
is, baby, just don’t say goodnight
till the man gets around to our song
Turn up the radio till this
one’s through
I got what I wanted, all I ever
wanted was you…

REPEAT INTRO 2X

Ooh, tell me, baby, what you want me to do
Tell me what you want me to be
You can make my dreams come true
if you only say to me…

And all I ever wanted, all you got to do
is, baby, just don’t say goodnight
till the man gets around to our song
Turn up the radio till this
one’s through
I got what I wanted, all I ever
wanted was you…

I got what I wanted, all I ever wanted was you..

I got what I wanted, all I ever wanted was you…
