I Need You Lyrics



Harrison


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.

Anomalies

0:41 * NEW *
Stray noise from guitar, right
1:10
Click to left, and the track "loses something" in content, during the syllable "mem"
1:48
Clicky sound along with skip in acoustic guitar just before the pedal steel comes in.
 
George Harrison wrote this for his girlfriend Patti Boyd. They eventually got married.
Patti has inspired a lot of songs. Harrison also wrote "Something" about her, and Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight" for her. She and Harrison officially divorced in 1977. She and Clapton were married from 1979-1988.
The strange guitar sound is Harrison playing with a tone pedal.
Since this was the only song of his in the movie Help!, Harrison made a point of saying "I Need You by George Harrison," twice during the end credits. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
