We used to laugh We used to cry We used to bow our heads then Wonder why But now you're gone I guess I'll carry on And make the best of what you left to me Left to me, left to me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know, I need you I need you And every day I'd laugh the hours away Just knowing you were thinking of me Then it came That I was put to blame For every story told about me About me, about me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you I need you, I need you

“I Need You” foi o segundo single lançado pela America a partir do álbum de estreia homônimo, em 1972, e foi escrito por Gerry Beckley.
O crítico da Cash Box descreveu a canção como “uma balada suave, no estilo de ‘Something’”.
O produtor George Martin remixou a gravação de estúdio para o compilado *History: America's Greatest Hits* (1975), abaixando o tom em um quarto de tom e aumentando o volume do baixo em relação à versão original.
Uma versão alternativa da mixagem de 1971, baseada no remix de George Martin, foi incluída no lançamento *Archives, Vol. 1* em 2015.
“I Need You” aparece em diversos álbuns ao vivo da banda, como *Live* (1977), *In Concert* (1985) e *Horse with No Name – Live!* (1995), além de compilações como *Highway* (2000) e *The Complete Greatest Hits* (2001).
