這首《Baby I'm-a Want You》是美國的麵包合唱團 ( Bread ) 於1971推出的單曲，在英、美兩國排行榜都獲得不錯的成績 (US #3 )。也是該團第三首進入美國排行榜前5名的歌曲，當然也是毫不意外的得到銷售超過百萬張的金唱片。

麵包合唱團的成功，主唱David Gates居功厥偉，該團幾首膾炙人口的歌曲，像是《Make It With You》、《If》、《Everything I Own》和《The Guitar Man》等，均是由其所寫及製作。可惜該團成立的時間不長 ( 1968–1973，後雖兩次復合，但似也欲振乏力了。 )，David Gates抒情柔美的嗓音，使得麵包合唱團在70年代喜歡輕搖滾的歌友們心中，留下了不可磨滅的印象。

※不負責註解：
I'm-a 是口語化英文，有 I'm going to 的意思。
I'm-a want you，簡單講，就是I want you。



Baby, i'm-a want you
Baby, i'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe i'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...
Baby, i'm-a want you
Baby, i'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, i'm-a want you
Baby, i'm-a need you
