Lately I'm a-prayin'
Then you came along and made me laugh
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Lately I'm a-prayin'
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
Oh, it took so long to find you, baby
But I just can't live without
And made me cry
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Your lovin' and affection
Baby, I'm-a want you
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Baby, I'm-a need you
You taught me why
Maybe I'm-a crazy
Baby, I'm-a want you
Givin' me direction
