Lyrics for Only The One You Love

Baby, I need your good lovin' Got to have your love right now, baby So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile Because I'm not livin', baby, I only exist I'll never laugh, I'll never smile no more Don't care if I stay like this, because Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile When I feel the hurt comin' on I stop and cry like I'm cryin' (Right now) People ask why would a grown man cry I drop my head and I sigh and reply Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile (Baby, I need your good lovin') Sometimes I feel like a wanderer (Got to have your love right now) Searching for peace within (Baby, I need your good lovin') I need you my darling (Got to have your love right now) Like a lost soul needs a friend So come and fill my empty arms And fill my empty life (Baby, I need your good lovin') Nobody knows the emptiness I feel (Got to have your love right now) And I feel it (Baby, I need your good lovin') Nobody knows the loneliness I feel (Got to have your love right now) And I feel it because Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile
