This Time (I Need You)

Brenda Russell

Compositor: Brenda Russel / Joe Turano

Ooh ooh
Oooh yeah

I was the one that you leaned on
When you spirit was weak I was strong
And helped you to carry on

I was the one that you turned to
When you needed a friend in the end
I was there

I was you shoulder to weep on
And your pillow to sleep on
Oh, but, but not this time
This time I need you
This time I want you by my side
This time I need you
To fill this emptiness inside
This time I need you
Remember when you needed me
This time I, I need you, I need you
I need you

I never said I was lonely
When life got me scared I’d just smile and say
Nothing’s wrong
And I never asked you to hold me
When I’d wake in the night
I’d turn on the light and see you there
Hm mm

I was your shoulder to weep on
And your pillow to sleep on
Oh, but not this time
This time I need you, I need you
This time I want you by my side
This time I need you. I need, I need
To fill this emptiness inside
This time I need you, I need you
Remember when you needed me
This time I, I need you, I need you
Ooh oh, ooh oh, oh oh oh

Oh I love you

I was your shoulder to weep on
And your pillow to sleep on
Oh no, but not this time
This time I need you, I need you
This time I want you by my side
This time I need you. I need you yeah
To fill this emptiness inside
I I I yeah
Remember when you needed me
This time I, I need you
Oh I need you

This time I, this time I
This time I need you
Remember when you needed me

This time I need you
Remember when you needed me
