I've Been Needing Someone Like You

I just came in to drown some sorrow

I'll be leavin' town tomorrow

Just another bum that's passin' through

Hitchin' rides when I ain't walkin'

Ain't had time to do no talkin'

Woman I've been needin' someone like you.

Say my eyes are filled with sadness

Well, they once were filled with gladness

Once I loved someone I thought was true

But I found her with another

Since that day there's been no other

And woman I've been needin' someone like you.

Back then my better judgement failed me

Tried to kill him and they jailed me

And though that happened back in '62

Can't hold the job 'cause no one wants me

With the past like mine that haunts me

Woman I've been needin' someone like you.

The luck of love and conversation

Kills the man like snow starvation

Five long years that's all that I've gone through

Now you say that's all behind me

It was meant for you to find me

Woman I've been needin' someone like you.

Yes, woman I've been needin' someone like you...
