Never Knew How Much (I Needed You) — текст песни (Allman Brothers Band, The)

Time and time again I`ve felt these wall`s of plaster,
closing in,
And more than once I`ve felt that lonely lonely feeling,
Wondering why and where I`ve been,
Just about the time, I think I can`t hold on,
You`re always there to keep me hanging on and I say,

I never knew how much a man needed a woman
(No I never)
I never knew how much a boy needed a girl
(Needed a girl)
I never knew how much I needed you

Day after day I join the rat race,
Tryin` to make the most of it,
I keep on falling down down the ladder,
Still trying to stay on top of it,
Just when I was sure,
Nothing could get no better,
Oh I realize,
I still love you more than ever,

(Chorus)

Today I watch the sun set on the freeway,
strangled on the poison air,
But miles beyond, on the other end,
I know, you`ll always be waiting there,
Girl you treat me,
with your kindest hand,
and in my heart, in my mind,
and I`m so glad

(Chorus)
