Baby I'm A Want You Lyrics
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...
Baby, I'm-a need you
Baby, I'm-a need you

I love this song! It is very meaningful. This is a song about being in love with someone and being very attached to them and hoping it will last forever. It's about feeling like u can be yourself around this person and you feel like you can be best friends w/ the lover in the song and would want 2 stay together in both good times and bad.
@chocolatelover93 I love this comment! My husband says the same thing all the time! 😊

I know it's not"cool" for a masculine, hetrosexual,guy to love the band Bread.but I'm here to tell I do and am not ashamed of it.even if my friends and brothers make fun of me I don't give a rats ass.baby I'm want you is Awesome like so many other Bread tunes.
Love this song!!!
i have no idea what this song means but it's got a nice rythym to it and its super romantic!
I love Bread. I like toast even more but that's not the point. The point is that Bread's music is as timeless as well, BREAD! haha. This song in particular is one of their greatest originals ever written. I love the format in which the verses are sung, and the song topic is absolutely amazing. GREAT JOB BREAD
It's about how a guy didn't care about anything but then he fell in love with a girl and she changed his life!
But what does the title itself mean? What does, "Baby I'm a want you" mean? "Baby I am a want you." What, he's so in love he forgot how to speak properly? Come on.

@mike102130 really doesn't make much sense the song title does it. Maybe they weren't aware that you could have a song title yet the exact words didn't have to be in the song's lyrics??

Bought this as a '45' and played my Fender Telecaster along to it, solo and all--surely there's an interesting making of this one instrumentally and the urgency and longing feeling in the lyrics! -- Dave
