Lyrics
[Verse 1]
People outside my window
Going everywhere
People that are happy
People without a care
[Chorus]
We all got to be loved
It's a natural thing, don't you know?
The sooner we find what we need
Gonna be feeling it, happy to show
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna change my method
Get me a big ham bone
Gonna make all the leaders of the country
Get it together and bring it on home
[Chorus]
We all got to be loved
It's a natural thing, don't you know?
The sooner we find what we need
Gonna be feeling it, happy to show
[Bridge]
Those men in the circus
Those men on the wire
Their feet hanging fifty feet up
Know they're counting on their daily luck
To bring them through the fire
[Chorus]
We all got to be loved
It's a natural thing, don't you know?
The sooner we find what we need
Gonna be feeling it, happy to show
[Outro]
Those men in the circus
Those men on the wire
Their feet hanging fifty feet up
Know they're counting on their daily luck
To bring them through the fire
