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)
