You got such a bad attitude,
Too much guilt and other self-inflicted wounds,
You suffer so much, your heart is black and blue,
I think I know what is wrong with you.
You need a love – yes, you do,
You need a love, I'm telling you,
Oh, you need a love – yes, you do,
Someone to hold you, someone to pull you through,
Someone to pull you through, oh yeah.
Oh,
Oh yeah.
I'm not your mother, I'm not your fool,
I've got your number, so don't act so cool,
Who are you fooling? – oh, It sure ain't me,
Better listen: there's something missing.
You need a love – yes, you do,
You need a love, I'm telling you,
You need a love – yes, you do,
To be your best friend, bring out the best in you,
Bring out the best in you, oh.
Oh yeah.
It's so obvious, it's so true,
Nothing else can make you feel so good.
Get on your good dress, fix up your hair,
Oh, get on your good side and get out there,
Don't be an island, oh, don't he alone,
You better grab your chance before it's gone, yeah.
You need a love – yes, you do,
You need a love, I'm telling you,
Oh, you need a love – yes, you do,
Someone to hold you, someone to pull you through.
Oh, you need a…
You need a love – yes, you do,
Be your best friend, bring out the best in you.
You need a love,
You need a love,
You need a love,
You need a love,
You need a love,
You need a love,
You need a love, whoa,
