Joe Cocker - Need Your Love So Bad Lyrics






Need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins, whoa, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad
I need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up - to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low - and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad
So why don't you give it up, baby and bring it home to me
or write it on a piece of paper, woman - so it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me - and stop drivin' me mad
whoa, because I - I need your love so bad
Need a soft voice - just to talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, come on bring it to me
'Cause I need - your love so bad
Baby, I need, I need - woman, I need your love so bad

Joe Cocker Need Your Love So Bad Comments
  1. M.... A....

    Loving this! ❤️

  2. D.... G....

    I can feel every word he sings!

  3. F.... M....

    Peter Green sang this before the girls were hired to Fleetwood Mac. Great song, covered by many. Allman Bros did a great job of it too.

  4. M.... A....

    Nossa! Que emoção!

  5. P.... g....

    I have been in love with Joe cocker since 1969.
    I do not love him any less since he's gone I only say some prayers for him now though I know he's doing great singing his heart out still. He was just so damn cute...

  6. m.... m....

    Increíblemente SUBLIME.!!!!!

  7. K.... J....

    yes joe,I NEED HIS LOVE SO BAD

  8. K.... J....

    OH DEARJOE NOW YOU AAARE WWWWWWWWWWWITH NMY DAD

  9. M.... A....

    Genial!

  10. V.... K....

    Superrrrr!

  11. R.... B....

    Wished he would have performed this at Woodstock. Nobody can out sing Joe Cocker. No more to be said. He had swagger before it was cool to have.

  12. D.... K....

    Really nice soulful cover of Willie John's classic

  13. R.... D....

    No, Sweetie, it's a Little Willie Joe song

    R.... D....

    Little Willie,s is the ultimate. It is his version that inspired Peter Green to record it.

  14. T.... A....

    The "white" Ray Charles. So much soul in that voice. I love it.

  15. J.... F....

    You done it again, Joe! Miss you and your voice goes on.

  16. 5.... ....

    to bad Joe did not record with Peter Green ! But still.......the drummer has no drive , sounds like a machine.....

  17. e.... ....

    Aunque a decir verdad no supera a la versión original de Fleetwood Mac

    e.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq4EByQ5AGc
    Esta es la versión original y la supera enormemente solo con esa voz que tenía Cocker

  18. e.... ....

    Muy buena interpretación. Gran vocalista Joe Cocker.

  19. m.... r....

    ohhh, loveeee

  20. G.... H....

    That man has stunned me for years. Just remember from Woodstock at 68. The same gordius voice to day as then.

  21. C.... C....

    Fleetwood Mac version is my preference for this song, but I dig me some Joe Cocker

  22. j.... ....

    Joe's version of this this song has the desperation that Peter Greene's lacks, nothing against PG for sure. I just feel that Joe's bluesier sound better matches the tone of the lyrics.

    j.... ....

    jaxbluesfan he was definitely a son of the blues and soul, you feel every word and his voice.

    j.... ....

    robert palmer version is great

  23. J.... R....

    MrC DEFO ..up there ...the best voice ever

  24. M.... A....

    Une belle personne

  25. N.... P....

    Only the best to cover the best.

  26. m.... r....

    adore this song, adooorreee this version by Jo. C.

  27. s.... ....

    Why is it the soulful singers are British? Best version of this I've heard was by a Stax artist who didn't become a star like she should've. The amazing Ruby Johnson backed by The Memphis Horns & the MGs with Steve Cropper killing it on guitar!

  28. d.... ....

    peter green's version sets the bar.

  29. v.... h....

    pour un soir dans mon lit voila une musique qui va m'endormire la je me voie danser avec des jolie femme au claire de lune mon ami Pierrot vient danser avec moi .Bonsoir à vous tous ;)

  30. P.... C....

    I love this guy. Every word he sings make me "feel his pain". However, my favorite version is BB King and Sheryl Crow.

    P.... C....

    sheryl crow?...are you joking me...are you on drugs?

  31. d.... s....

    one of best !

  32. D.... R....

    the blues are meant to be interpreted by anyone..that is what makes the Blues The Blues

    D.... R....

    well said...

    D.... R....

    Interpretation is not cemented to one genre. It depends on the individual(s) who perform however their style when they sing. Joe was an amazing performer. Wished I saw him in concert.

  33. D.... R....

    This is a Litlle Willie John cover[written by his brother Mertis]

  34. A.... ....

    Well Well, I LOVE the way Gary Moore does it and Bobby Bland...I just Love the Song.. period..

  35. J.... P....

    Love Little Willie John's original and Greeny's Fmac version.  Also try the Fmac live Shrine '69 version.  Tons of killer guit from Peter.

    J.... P....

    Peter's performance at the Shrine were at the top of his game...vocally and musically....

  36. B.... J....

    Bill what's your problem mate?  A blues song sounding bluesy.  This was written and first recorded by Little Willie John -  but Peter Green cut an amazing version.  Joe does a great job - and he aint ever ever boring.  Was the ABB version of Stormy Monday on Live at the Fillmore too bluesy for you Bill.

  37. B.... P....

    Wow, no one does this like the Allman Brothers Band.  This version is a little too boring for me, a little too 'bluesy', not because of Joe.  It would have been so cool to have Joe singing on the ABB version!

  38. M.... G....

    This song is Peter Green song, sind whit Fleewood Play.....

  39. S.... B....

    Waoo cuanto talento, que voz, maravilloso.

  40. C.... C....

    Lovely......

  41. S.... N....

    if you need a guy to hold a tune,look no further

  42. J.... C....

    Grande, genial!

  43. M.... h....

    Go on Joe

  44. B.... K....

    love that voice

  45. J.... R....

    Joe is the best!

  46. L.... T....

    amazing

  47. J.... N....

    Willie John sang the first recording of this song.  His brother Mertis wrote the song. 

  48. R.... C....

    Sorry, Joe I love you man but,,,,PETER GREEN STILL KICKS ASS!

  49. E.... P....

    LWJ wrote it as well.

  50. N.... M....

    Piano part is so great!!!!!!

  51. r.... ....

    Fleetwood Mac covered it
    Little Willie John did it earlier

  52. A.... P....

    Най добрияр сантиментал в пеенето!

  53. G.... R....

    minunat...inegalabilll....

  54. F.... A....

    Peter Green, BB King and Joe Cocker, everything indicades that this is a great song!

  55. b.... ....

    Great version all round .. but ..
    Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac are unbeatable !!

  56. S.... G....

    I can feel every word he sings! Love you Joe!

  57. J.... B....

    I love Joe's singing but this is Peter Green's song, no matter who wrote it, it's Peter's song. Peter plays better guitar than whoever's on this too, a thousand times better..
    Sorry Joe, still love your singing man.

  58. A.... ....

    Need your love so bad

  59. l.... ....

    that would be wonderfull!!! I'm a big fan of both artists...

  60. p.... ....

    nothing wrong with Joe but Peter did well as good as him, so in reality. Joe+Peter wont be any better then Fleetwood Mac's version.

  61. b.... ....

    Who hates Joe ? Lovely lovely man who just puts his all into it every damn time.

  62. r.... ....

    You either love or hate Joe. I, for one, absolutely love him! Such feeling, grit, truth. I've loved you, Joe, for too many years to count.

    r.... ....

    reclusewidow does anyone hate Joe Cocker?

  63. M.... H....

    Awesome.

    Grandma mary

  64. K.... ....

    I'm in that flipping awesome part of YouTube again.

  65. A.... H....

    Incredible song that speaks my love for my Wife, Beth Ann! No One can fill the void you left in my heart!

  66. W.... V....

    @ alisezen: Who's criticising????????
    Robell states Joe is doing a pretty good job, and cave79ster wants to see Joe and Peter together here. So what is your opinion?

  67. M.... A....

    who you think you are to critisize joe ??

  68. r.... ....

    As much as I love Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac version I believe the original was written and recorded by Little Willie John in the 1950's
    Joe doesn't do a half bad job either.
