Like Ships Need The Sea lyrics

My mother once told me I don’t need a man To be the best I can be But just one look from you I’m changing my plans ‘Cause darlin’ I need you Like ships need the sea Darlin’ I need you Like ships need the sea My grandfather told me That real men don’t cry But I saw your tears In the moonlight That’s when I knew That my grandfather lied And darlin’ I need you Like birds need the sky Darlin’ I need you Like birds need the sky Finally you gave me The hope I’d awaited Finally you gave me your heart Gladly I gave you The love you’d awaited Gladly I gave you my heart Finally you gave me The hope I’d awaited Finally you gave me your heart Gladly I gave you The love you’d awaited Gladly I gave you my heart That preacher, he told me That love’s not easy I told him I don’t want it to be Darlin’ I need you Like ships need the sea And I’m gonna love you I’m gonna love you I’m gonna love you For all of our days I’m gonna love you For all of our days My mother once told me I don’t need a man But darlin’ I need you My mother once told me I don’t need a man But darlin’ I need you
