Em             D           G
If you could step into my head
                Am         C
Tell me, would you still know me?
If you woke up in my bed
Tell me, would you hold me

C             Em
Or would you simply let it lie
Leaving me to wonder why?
I can’t get you out of this head
C       D              Em
I call mine and I will say

Chorus:
Em  D                   C
Oh no, I can’t let you go
           Bm
My little girl
   C            Em            D
Because you’re holding up my world
      C     Bm
So I need you
         Em           D
Your imitation of my walk
         C               Bm
And the perfect way you talk
      C      Em            D
It’s just a couple of the million things
     C            Bm
That I love about you
   C       Em D
So I need you
           G Am
So I need you
   C       Em D
So I need you
           G Am
So I need you

And if I jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge
Tell me, would you still follow me?
And if I made you mad today
Tell me, would you love me tomorrow? Please?
Or would you say that you don’t care
And then leave me standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in despair
And screaming?

Chorus:
Oh no, I can’t let you go
My little girl
Because you’re holding up my world
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It’s just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

I’m on my own
I’m on my own
I’m on my own

Chorus:
Oh, oh, can't let you go
My little girl
Because you’re holding up my world
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It’s just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
Baby, yeah
