I Need Your Lovin'

For the Teena Marie song, see Irons in the Fire (album).

I Need Your Lovin' (also: "Need Your Lovin'") is a popular rhythm and blues song written by Bobby Robinson and Don Gardner. Gardner, teamed up with singer Dee Dee Ford and scored a Top 20 hit with the song in 1962.^[1] The song features a false ending half way through, and then cranks right back up again. Like much R&B, the song displays a strong gospel influence.
