That's What My Heart Needs Lyrics

You left me for another
You told him he was your lover
So I'm begging and I'm pleading
And I'm drowning in woe baby
That's what my heart needs

Baby, oh baby I'm calling you loud and clear
Baby, oh baby I love you, yes I do
And I want to be near you
Oh baby that's what my heart needs

Darling, my my darling
I need you here right by my side, baby
Darling if you hadn't left that day
Then my love wouldn't be this way
Oh baby that's what my heart needs

Come on baby
I said I need you right here by my side
I said I need you baby
I need you hear protectin' me
And be my guide ohhhhhhhh!
Ya ya baby!
I know you don't know what i need!
WHooooo baby yea!
Yea yea hey hey baby!
Come on
Come on and love me baby!
Lord come on and be right by my side!
Come on yeaaaa baby!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
