BABY I NEED YOUR LOVIN'
written by Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland
performed by Johnny Rivers
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <>

(originally sung by the Four Tops in the key of A)

G         C
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
G         C
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
G         C
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

G     C
 Baby I need your lovin'
G     C
 Baby I need your lovin'
G         C
 Although you're never near
G           C
 Your voice I often hear
G             C
 Another day,  another night
G       C
 I long to hold you tight
G         C
 'cause I--'m so lonely

CHORUS:
F       G7
 Baby I need your lovin'
C            Am
 Got to have all your lovin'
F       G7
 Baby I need your lovin'
C            Am
 Got to have all your lovin'

Verse 2:
Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I would rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep

(chorus)

Bridge:
G / /   /  C    / / /         G   / / / C / / /
     Every night  I call your name
G / /   /       C       /     /      /    G      /     / / C / / /
    Sometimes I wonder, girl, will I ever be the same?

Verse 3:
When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby I can't go on without ya
This lonliness won't let me live without ya
This emptiness inside me baby
Makes me feel half alive

(repeat chorus and fade)
