I act like I left her, but I really beg her to stay
And the more that I press her is the more she slips away
Act like I don't need her but…Yo, you're necessary…
Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I sleep

Act like I can hear, but Jah knows I'm deaf
Act like I can see but now, yo, from me sight has left
Act like I don't know but, I know these things…
Act like I don't feel it but I'm gonna feel it, every morning now on

Each morning, on each night
When I need you by my side
On each morning and on each night
When I need you

Like I don't care but each and every time
Your face comes across it never ever leaves my mind
Oh, like I don't know but…I know your thing

Like I don't feel it, but I'm gonna feel it every evening now on –

Each morning, on each night
When I need you by my side
On each morning and on each night
When I need you

I act like I left her, but the truth is I beg her, beg her to stay…
And the more that I press her, means all the more that she slips away
Act like I don't need her, but I'm here to tell you that you're necessary
Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I'm on –

Each morning, on each night
When I need you by my side
On each morning and on each night
When I need you by my side

– On each morning and on each night when I need you so desperately
