Everybody Needs Love

Say you wanna be loved

But you won't let me love you

Say you want someone to trust in you, baby

Can't you see that's what I'm tryin' to do

I know you've been hurt before

And you're afraid to try love once more

Without love by your side, you're only half alive

‘Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah

Everybody needs love

Say you wanna be kissed

But you won't let me kiss you

Say you wanna be missed

Can't you see how my arms are missing you

She's got you hurting so inside

Now with love you try to hide

But no matter how you try

Without love you can't survive

‘Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah

Everybody needs love

Oh, love's alright

You need love, I need love

Everybody needs love

Baby, don't you know that

You need love and I need love

Everybody needs love, oh, yeah

Everybody needs love

Say you wake up in the morning, yes, you will

Feeling, ooh, so empty inside

I bet I know what your trouble is, baby

You need someone like me by your side

I know you've been hurt before

But don't be afraid to try love once more

‘Cause without love you'll find

You'll have no peace of mind

‘Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah

Everybody needs love

You need love and I need love

Everybody needs love, love, love

You need love, I sure need love

Everybody needs love
