Lady Antebellum - Need You Now Lyrics

Artist: Lady Antebellum

Album: Need You Now

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: Dave Haywood, Josh Kear, Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott

Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause
I can't fight it anymore

And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I've lost all control
And I need you now

And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping
In the way you did before

And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one
I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I've lost all control
And I need you now

And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now

Whoa, whoa
Guess I'd rather hurt
Than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk
And I need you now

And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

    Me & my boyfriend are taking a "break". sad thing is that i did him a slide show to this song on our one yr anniversary :/ listening to it makes me tear.

    Hearing this song reminds me off a man who was very special in my life. The sad thing was he didnt feel anything for me. Except after 1AM. One day i will be strong enough to let him go W.L.

    A man who I love, who I adore, who is very far away, made a cd of many songs for me, and this beautiful song is on it along with many other very meaningful songs. I listen to them and cry...like a baby, yes I cry. I want him so much, and so much is keeping us apart......I love him.............so very much.
    When a man does this......it means a lot.

    I love this song. The lyrics are words that I would think or I would write in a love letter at the moment that I'm feeling it. The song also brings me to relate to my x-boyfriend and how I would sit there and drink Captain Morgan (because he would always leave it at my house, I kinda took a liking to it)and debate whether or not I should call him. Then, I'd sit there and imagine him coming right over. Although, I never did call at any of those times and he never did come sweeping in the door at any of those times either... Great Song!

    This song reminds me of the guy I like. His name is Kevin and I have liked him since third grade. I wonder if he'll ever notice me. :-( A + K=

    this also is about the one true love who will forever be in my heart. I can only blame myself for not being old enough back then and fighting for what and who I wanted which was YOU but now we have didnt lives and families to think about so you'll probably never see this but I said it out loud I loved you then and will love you always you are always in my heart.

    My former husband left this song on my cell voice mail last week, TWICE! We have been divorced 5 1/2 years and he is remarried...what the heck!?!

  • cvandy

    my mom really likes this song. i think that it makes her think of her mom, my grandma, who died when i was only seven. im eleven now so ive kinda gotten over it but it still makes me sad, how i know that i was at her house all the way in BC the night before she died. i took a trip there in grade two so that i could be with her during her last days with colon cancer. im just glad for her that she doesn't have to live with anymore pain now that she's dead. im only 11. ;(

    I have been listening to this song over and over on the radio , thinking of a man that I have loved like no other man I have loved before, and tonight,out of the blue, he called ,and told me this song made him think of me, There is Always hope,,,,

    Love is so mysterious in this song I remembered my heart blooming with lots of love and also the heartache that I experienced. I can't seem to move on from my past it's so hard to forget someone whom you really loved all the memories you shared together it seems so hard that it all disappeared with a blink of an eye. I could still feel the pain and one sentence crossed my mind.... I told myself that I DO REALLY NEED HIM NOW... I guess I need to let go of what happened before.. and confess and admit everything I have to do,without him I feel all alone.

    This song is perfect for me! It relates to my first love. I have been in the same situation as in the song and there is nothing that can be done about it. He will be forever in my heart and I will love him always. I love you Mike.

    I love this song. I'm separated from my girlfriend and just want, so badly, to hold her... look into her eyes, feel her touch. The song brings out all the pain separated from the one we love can bring.

    she is saying she would rather feel pain than to never feel any emotion at all

  • SuperDave1970

    Makes me think of my girlfriend in Indiana, I'm in Ohio. She will be moving here in june. We are going to practice together and sing karaoke to this song. I love you Kristy!!!!!

    What do the lyrics mean "yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all"? Is she saying she'd rather miss him than not?

    Belle! This is a beautiful song. As soon as I saw the video, I said, "that guy is me!" Speaking of the guy holding his cell phone while sitting on the floor in the hotel hallway. I've spent many late nights in that same position, talking to a beautiful woman 1,000 miles away.
    Step by step Belle. Step by step...

  • Anonymous

    Our two lives were so paralell with the events in the video of this song. Right down to the guy on his cell phone on the floor in the hallway of some hotel. I kept sayin', "That's me!" While she was in bed 1,000 miles away and we couldn't be together. One day at a time, Belle. One day at a time.....

    After the 3rd or 4th time I started really listening to the words of this song. OMG I love it. Is soo me. My best friend and I became more than that for a few years and is kind of gone now. I think about him all the time, sometimes I call him when I get drunk and he's usually there for me, even though we shouldn't because we are both married to someone else. This song so came from my heart...lol

  • Anonymous

    I love this song i listen to it everyday & just like everyone else i let him go. Because i wanted a family and he didnt at the time. we were so in love. he was my first true love & he always will be even though i am married & have the family that i have wanted since i was 15. He will always cross my mind for the rest of my life he was my world & the only guy who ever treated me good. my husband dont even treat me like he did. I miss my first love i am still watching the door waiting & wondering if he will come back but the reality is i gave one part of my heart to my first love other to my husband and another to my kids. but i will always miss and think of him. He will always keep a special place i my heart.

    When the power of love overcomes the love of power
    the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix
    I always want to need a man, but never be needy.
    I want a man to say he loves me in the AM and the night. I want him to wake me mid-AM and "surprise" me. I want to love his sexy ways, his sexy style, but I don't want him to fake who he is. A simple hug, caress on the neck, whisper in my ear really
    do it for me. I want him to be familiar, but I want him to be unexpectedly passionate.

    Our past relationships always cross our mind. "It happens all the time." I can honestly say I dated quite a few guys, but I never ran a marathon. One guy I dated had a Mercedes Sport and his own construction business. Handome, but gentleman-like. But through our entire date I said how much he missed his girlfriend. Cocktail hour, I told him to go back to SW and contact his girlfriend. So he gave me a ride home less than 1 hour into our date. I felt really bad for him, but I felt like I helped him. I realized early on that money was not the key to happiness, love was. I gave him a hug to remain platonic.

    Everytime I hear this song, I remember the one that got away. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and correct the wrong that happened. I think of this person often.

    Yeah this song is great my story is the same as everyone else, I guess just about everyone lost some one and they wish they could have them back but some times you have to face reality that their not coming back.

    I just heard this song for the first time and so reminds me of someone I loved so much and lost him way too quickly...
    I wonder about the "what ifs" everyday... I also wonder who the person was in the comment above who wrote something about someone with the same name as mine??

    i absolutely adore this song. It reminds me of my ex. and even though i'm with someone else now. I still miss him and he always crosses my mind. There wasn't anyone like him. He was perfect. It was a shame that he didn't love me like i loved him.

    This is absolutely one of the best songs I have ever heard. The words really have so much meaning behind them. Who hasn't sat and thought about that relationship that just didn't work out, but you just couldn't get over it at the time. Bravo, Lady Antebellum. Great song!
