I WANT YOU BABE (Spice song)

Written by: Mick Box & David Byron
Recorded in December 1969 when the band was still called 'Spice' before Ken Hensley joined. 
This recording was released for the first time on 'The Lansdowne Tapes' compilation in 1993


Oh, I want you babe
I want you all to myself

And now and then I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you

Oh, you know I needed you woman
I needed you, I needed you
Every day and night, right

Now and then I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you

Well, you know what
The secret's I guess
And you think you know
Who your lover’s wife is

So you better stop
That thing you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
But I, I want you babe

When I was a young man
Always trying to say hello babe
But you’d never know
You live in want
Never knowing that I existed
Till my mind was twisted
I was always trying, sometimes crying
Oh, I needed you, needed you, needed you
Oh, I needed you, needed you, needed you
Oh, I needed you, needed you, needed you

Stop that thing that you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
Oh, I want you babe

I needed you, I needed you
Every single day of my entire life
And everytime I tried
Someone else would come along
There it went again

But now and then I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
You and me we’re gonna make it
Come with me, we mustn’t break it
