[Verse 1]
Ab                                Eb
See I’ve always been known as a strong man
Fm7                                 Eb
Though a poor man, I’ve still kept my pride
Ab                           Eb
I’ve never shared love with nobody
 Fm7                    Eb
Too afraid I’d be cast aside
Ab                                      Eb
But see in you, I’ve found something wonderful
Fm7                        Eb
I feel so secure in your embrace
Ab                                     Eb
Since you’ve entered my world of seclusion
Fm7                        Eb
The fears of love’s been erased


[Chorus]
Ab                                 Eb
(Woah and now!) I’ve got a need for you
Ab                         Eb
Deep down here inside… darling
Ab                              Eb
Ohhh now! Oh I’ve got a need for you
Db                      Bb
That sets my soul on fire fire fire


[Verse 2]
Ab                         Eb
Oh before you came into my life
Fm7                        Eb
I was carеful not to get involved
Ab                                   Eb
‘Cause I witnеssed the heartache of lovers
Fm7                               Eb
And the problem that they couldn’t solve
Ab                         Eb
Oh but slowly you crept up on me
Fm7                             Eb
And you showed me love’s better side
Ab                                  Eb
There’s no doubt that I’d be lost without you
Fm7                              Eb
No I couldn’t get a feel for it… try try try try cause


[Chorus]
Ab                                 Eb
(Woah and now!) I’ve got a need for you
Ab                        Eb
Deep down here inside… darling
Ab                           Eb
Ohhh now! Oh I’ve got a need for you
Db                     Bb
That sets my soul on fire fire fire

[Verse 3]
Ab                             Eb
Oh I melt from every kiss you give me
Fm7                           Eb
Oh they warm me on each chilly night
Ab                        Eb
Respect your sweetness brought to me
Fm7                        Eb
Has changed my outlook on life
Ab                           Eb
Baby your smile like the morning sun
Fm7                    Eb
It shines for me each day… yeah
Ab                                 Eb
Your love is such a priceless treasure
Fm7                         Eb
Oh please don’t let it slip away

…I love to say I…


[Chorus]
Ab                                  Eb
(Woah and now!) I’ve got a need for you
Ab                Eb
Deep down here inside… darling
Ab                         Eb
Ohhh now! Oh I’ve got a need for you
Db                          Bb
That sets my soul on fire fire fire


[Chorus]
Ab                           Eb
(Woah and now!) I’ve got a need for you
Ab              Eb
Deep down here inside… darling
Ab                        Eb
Ohhh now! Oh I’ve got a need for you
Db                    Bb
That sets my soul on fire fire fire
