Flack, Roberta - Just When I Needed You Lyrics






Darlin' Angel,
Somebody, Save me,
Yeah and I feel all right,
I won't forget how I feel tonight, 'cause you're mine
You're right on time
And you look so nice...

Just when I needed you,
You had your arms around my life
You understood, said you could,
I never dreamed you would

Be there when I needed you,
You were the only land in sight.
You seem to be, all I need

Somebody sent me you when I,
Somebody somewhere heard me cry
Somebody gave me you when I,
I needed you (huh oh, huh oh)
(Ooh yeah)

Just when I needed you,
Up when my mission in my mind
It came to me, in a dream
I wondered what could it be?
And just when I needed you
You made me see that I can run
So naturally I believed,

Somebody sent me you when I,
Somebody somewhere heard me cry,
Somebody gave me you when I (gave me what I needed),
I needed you (huh oh)

Somebody sent me you, you (somewhere)
Somebody somewhere (sent me you)
(Say yeah)
Somebody gave me you,(gave me what I needed)
I needed you
[x4]

    23 years ago my friend was on the floor of her bathroom holding on to her toilet throwing up from a broken heart as I stood in the door frame watching. I said to myself, if she was mine, I promise I would never ever make her feel that kind of pain. This nov we are going on 21 years, she is now my wife. We’ve been through breast cancer and all, she’s had both breasts removed. I’m still here because like this song says, “I needed you” she needed me then and now and nothing else matters. I ain’t going nowhere! I love my wife. ❤️

    Just When I Needed this song. First time watching Bustin' Loose in 30 years, and I had to look up this great song.

  35. K.... R....

    Oh wow. What a time capsule of a gem! My Aunt gave me and my two cousins money to see Bustin Loose at movies back in the day. We were around 10-14 yrs old. We stayed and watched it twice. First time I ever did that. Can't count the numerous times I've watched this on tv, vhs, and dvd, but this song really takes me back to great memories of long summer days, backyard football, family cookouts, comic book records & battling it out on Intellivision, Stratego & Electronic Quarterback. Amazing how music transcends time.

  36. C.... L....

    I love it

  37. T.... M....

    It feels soooo dam good to be black !!!!!!👍🏾

  38. E.... L....

    The soundtrack for "Bustin' Loose" was everything and Roberta Flack is a musical genius. I'm surprised that a lot of people don't remember this song because it was one of her most beautiful songs ever.

  78. T.... M....

    This entire soundtrack is so awesomely perfect R&B ..This is blue print how Soul music should sound

  79. M.... S....

    Wayment. I thought Lee Chamberlain sang that? There's a You Tube thingie with her that said she sang that. What's up with that?

  80. A.... 2....

    This song reminds me of when I was a child. I heard it for the first time in the movie with Richard Pryor "Bustin Loose."

  81. C.... W....

    Luther Vandross is singing in the background killing it. She is one of the most underated artist in history.

  82. A.... C....

    What I remember the most about Ms. Flack, other than her fine voice, is the fact that she was one of the first women to wear fashionable braids. Not the rope people are wearing on their heads today.

  83. G.... B....

    Busting loose brought me here

  84. B.... M....

    Wow , the choral arrangement at the beginning, is just incredible.

  85. S.... A....

    This Is A Very Very Special Song Especially I Felt Sorry 4 Those Children This Song Fits This Movie 2 Those Children It Was Funny 2 I Love Comedy.

  86. Z.... S....

    This song is all i remember about the movie bustin loose

    Z.... S....

    You don't remember Joe going into the woods and running into the KKK? Lol.

  87. G.... A....

    In a class of its own!!

  88. B.... C....

    Brings me a warm feeling everytime I hear this song. Loved it as a kid me my sister and brother loved bustin loose. I still love this song as much as I did over 35 yrs ago.

  89. S.... R....

    I just heard this song today and wow it's awesome,a beautiful songs done perfectly by Roberta Flack, a sweet love song for all times.

  90. N.... C....

    It's like I'm discovering this song for the first time. Just realised the bass is great.

  91. Q.... ....

    This song is so pretty. It reminds me of the early eighties, when I was a kid. We were broke, but we had togetherness. Now, I have been estranged from my mom for 10 years. This reminded me of her.

    Q.... ....

    I'm sorry. Praying you and your mother can somehow find your way back to each other.

  92. G.... C....

    So wish this recording were released on itune/amazon/spotify or cd. Have the lp but would love to have it on my ipod

  93. P.... T....

    True voice people don't sang like this today so soul touching lyric.

  94. J.... S....

    I hear Luther!!

  95. N.... J....

    Really glad you posted this! And, just for the "record", those pops and hisses at the end proves that you appreciate the irreplaceable and untouchable emotions you can only get from vinyl! Great recording, from the voice of the elegant Roberta Flack!

  96. A.... O....

    Luther's intro is divine.

  97. D.... K....

    Just a beautiful song. I've always enjoyed it

  98. E.... L....

    I will forever love me some Roberta Flack

  99. K.... 0....
