[Chorus: Hilary Scott]
It's a quarter after 1, 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
Woah, oh
[Bridge: Hillary Scott & Charles Kelley]
I guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
[Chorus: Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley & Lady A]
It's a quarter after 1, 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

I just need you now
