Never Knew How Much (I Needed You)

Time and time again I've felt these walls of plaster closing in And more than once I've felt that lonely, lonely feeling Wondering why I ain't where I've been Just about the time I think I can't hold on You're always there to keep me hanging on And I said I never knew how much a man needed a woman I never knew how much a boy needed a girl I never knew how much I needed you Day after day I join the rat race Trying to make the most of it I keep on falling down down the ladder Trying to stay on top of it Just when I was sure nothing could get no better Oh I realized I still love you more than ever I never knew how much a man needed a woman I never knew how much a boy needed a girl I never knew how much I needed you Today I watch the sun set on the freeway And strangled on the poison air But miles beyond, on the other end I know you'll always be waiting there Girl you treat me with your kindest hand You're in my heart, in my mind And I'm so glad I never knew how much a man needed a woman I never knew how much a boy needed a girl I never knew how much I needed you
