Ooh

You, you I see
In my mirror in the morning, ‘stead of seein’ me
I see you, I see your face
And inside me is a growing need for your embrace

In the light of day, though our faces meet
Someone there might see, so we never speak
Till the dark of night, while the moon is new
When we whisper words of love in our secret rendezvous

Somethin’s wrong I know
Girl, I love you so
Yes, I need you
I need you, baby

Oh, you, my sweetest joy
You can afford the best of life, I’m just a heartbreakin’ boy
Oh, you’ve given your love to me
Girl, I can’t let you hurt yourself by being seen with me

We’re worlds apart, so close yet worlds apart
So we must hide the love we’re feelin’ in our hearts
We meet in shadows, your friends must never know
That we are lovers, darlin’, although it hurts me so

For your sake no one must see
The best of love you’ve givin’ me
But you know
I need you, baby

You, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you

Oh, one day I’ll make the grade, my lucky star will shine
I can tell the world that you are mine, all mine
Till then we must go on the way we have before
And never let it show, we love each other so

Our love’s a one-way track
And there’s no turnin’ back
Oh
I need you, baby

You, you I see
Oh, in my mirror in the morning, ‘stead of seein’ me
I see you, see your face
