Lyrics
Say you wanna be loved?
But you won't let me love ya
Say you want someone to trust in you?
Can't you see that's what I'm trying 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? (Wanna be kissed)
But you won't let me kiss you (no, no, no)
Say you wanna be missed?
Can't you see how my arms are missing you?
It's got you hurtin' so inside
Now from love you're trying to hide
But no matter how you try, without love you can't survive
'Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oo-oo, you need love
And I need love
Everybody needs love
So you wake up in the morning (wake up in the morning)
Feeling all empty inside (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll bet you I know what your trouble is
You need someone like me by your side
And 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, hey
You need love (yeah)
Baby, I need love (yeah)
Everybody needs love, love
You need love (yeah)
And I need love (yeah)
Everybody needs love
Hey, hey, hey, you need love (yeah)
Baby, I need love (yeah)
Everybody needs love, ooh love
You need love (yeah)
And I need love (yeah)
And everybody needs love
