Need You Now
Lady Antebellum · 2010
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- I just need you now
- Another shot of whisky
- Can't stop looking at the door
- Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
Sing it again — final chorus
- I just need you now
- (Whoa-whoa)
- Guess I rather hurt than feel nothing at all
- It's a quarter after one
