Lyrics:

(originally by The Miracles)

Now you say
Everytime you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
You just sit back in a day reminiscing
'Cause you know some other lips he's been kissing

Now when you need the love you never saw
You come around here
And when you need some loving arms to hold you
Come around here
Now I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I know I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Say now, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I know I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)

Your life stands still the minute he goes
You count the hours just hoping that he shows
Girl, can't you see while you're longing for his touch
(Honey, Honey)
That I'm the one who loves you so much
(Honey, Honey)
And while you're longing for his embrace
(Honey, Honey)
You're all alone with the tears on your face
(Honey, Honey)

Now when you feel the need to cry to someone
Cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone
Lean on me
Now, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I'm sure that I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Oh baby, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I'm sure I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)

Now, the days, the days, the days
You sit alone by yourself
He's out fooling around with somebody else
Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
He's just waiting till he has time for you
Now when the loneliness get hard to bear, girl
Come around here
And when you need a little tender love and care, girl
Come around here
Now, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I'm sure I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Oh baby, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
Babe, babe, babe, babe, baby
Oh now, oh now, I may not be the one you want
But, I'm sure I'm the one you need
