I Need You Now Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"I need you now"
Read letters that I wrote on the wall
And the message that I left when I called
"I need you now"
Words I said drowned out by the rain
Waiting there for you but you never came

[Pre-Chorus]
My world’s a little colder now
But I’m keeping warm somehow

[Chorus]
So here you are at my window
Guess nobody told you
I don’t need you, don’t need you
And I waited so frustrated
Who’s gonna hold you?
I don’t need you, don’t need you now

[Verse 2]
"I need you now"
Words I heard you whisper to me
We were walking down a one-way street
You need me now
That’s what you’ve been telling my friends
But I’ve come too far to go back there again
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart, my mind, and numbers have changed
You might as well forget my name

[Chorus]
So here you are at my window
Guess nobody told you
I don’t need you, don’t need you
And I waited so frustrated
Who’s gonna hold you?
I don’t need you, don’t need you now

[Bridge]
"I need you now"
Read letters that I wrote on the wall
And the message that I left when I called

[Chorus]
So here you are at my window
Guess nobody told you
I don’t need you, don’t need you
And I waited so frustrated
Who’s gonna hold you?
I don’t need you, don’t need you now

[Outro]
And I don’t look for your car
I don’t wonder where you are
I don’t dream about you 'cause I don’t need you now
I don’t dream about the way
That I never heard you say:
“I need you, I need you”
I don’t need you now
Don’t need you
Don’t need you now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
