I DESPERATELY NEED YOU

from ARTFUL SAYINGS [Digitally Remastered] by The Santairs

/

about

The lyrics to this song was written by a young lady I was dating back in the late 80's and, at her behest, asked me to write the music. This was the product of our musical love child.

This is song #298.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I SEE THE FIRE THAT BURNS IN YOUR EYES.
I SEE THE WHIP ALONG YOUR SIDE,
BUT I DESPERATELY NEED YOU.

I SEE YOUR FIST IN MY FACE.
I SEE OUR LOVE GOING TO WASTE,
BUT I DESPERATELY NEED YOU.
I DESPERATELY NEED YOU.

SEE THE TEARS THAT SWELL IN MY EYES?
SEE THE KNIFE TWIST IN MY HIDE?
BUT I DESPERATELY NEED YOU. I DESPERATELY NEED YOU.
AND I DESPERATELY NEED YOU.

SEE MY HAND SHAKE OF FRIGHT?
SEE ME SIT BY THE PHONE AT NIGHT?
BUT I DESPERATELY NEED YOU.
BUT I DESPERATELY NEED YOU.
I DESPERATELY NEED TO,
I DESPERATELY NEED TO.
(SOLO)
AND I STRETCH MY HAND OUT TO YOU,
AND I BEG FOR YOU TO STAY.
BUT YOU LEFT AND YOU'RE GONE AND YOU'LL NEVER COME BACK TO ME.
BUT I NEED YOU.
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU.
OHO----
COME BACK TO ME. COME BACK TO ME. COME BACK TO ME.
I DESPERATELY NEED YOU,
I DESPERATELY NEED YOU,
I DESPERATELY NEED TO.
I DESPERATELY NEED TO.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
