Todd Rundgren - Love Thing lyrics

I need something, I need some sweet thing I need something to help me get on, help me get on by Love thing Sometimes I feel like I've been trapped in a container Pushed through a strainer, but I ain't no complainer Think I'm going crazy, there, now I'm insaner What could be plainer, it's a no-brainer The truth is always wherever you find it Throw back the curtain, see what's behind it Look hard at life and the ties that bind it Day after day we must be reminded Everything I had is gone, it's so dark it must be dawn Where's that reason to go, reason to go on and on Give what you ain't got to give, Lord have mercy on me Drinkin' up blood and sweat and tears, I ain't afraid to ask Give it to me love thing, well being Why do I always look down when I want to look up Why do I shake somebody down when I'm feelin' shook up Why do I wander around when I want to hook up Why am I puttin' it down when I want to pick up One of these days I'm gonna make my decision And act upon it while I still got volition But I've got so many ideas in collision It makes it hard to be a man with a mission I need something, I need some sweet thing I need something to help me get on, help me get on by I need something to clear my head I need something to warm my bed I need something, some sweet thing Everything I had is gone, it's so dark it must be dawn Where's that reason to go, reason to go on and on Tell me lies, I know the truth but tell me lies Just like a breath of fresh air blowin' through my lonely spirit Love thing, well being Love thing
