Discover the story of the song > I Need You – LeAnn Rimes

The protagonist is telling her partner that she doesn't need a lot of material things to be happy, but she has always needed something to feel complete. She explains that her partner is that missing piece and she needs them like water or breath - constantly and crucially. She praises the love and support her partner gives her, and acknowledges that without them she wouldn't be able to face life's challenges.
