Lyrics

[Chorus]
Ooh, give me two strong arms
To protect myself
Ooh, give me so much love
That I forget myself
I need to swing from limb to limb
To relieve this mess I'm in
'Cause when depression starts to win
I need to be right by your side
Yes, I do
[Chorus]
Ooh, no one seems to touch me
In the way you do
Ooh, nothing seems to hurt me
When I'm close to you
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side
Yes, I do
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Every single one of us needs
Love, love, love
Everybody needs to give and receive love, yeah
Every single day can drag us
Down, down, down
But there's nothing left to fear
When love gets into town
Yeah, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side
Whoa, ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
Give me two strong arms
To protect myself
Ooh, give me so much love
That I forget myself
I need to swing from limb to limb
To relieve this mess I'm in
'Cause when depression starts to win
I need to be right by your side
[Outro]
I need to be right by your side
