You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You?)

Well, well, well, well

Seems like it was only yesterday

When my mama told me don't fall in love

With the first guy that comes your way

He was handsome and nice, but I took her advice

And passed him by

Years have passed and don't look like love's

Gonna give me a second chance

Boy, the look on your face tells me you understand

Could it be your love life, like mine

Needs a helping hand?

Well, well, you need love like I do, don't you?

Boy, I can tell by the way you look when I'm lookin' at you

I know it ain't fit and proper

For a girl to talk this way

But I can't cope with this loneliness

Not one more doggone day

Every day has been a uphill climb

Keepin' my hopes afloat

Judging from your silence, boy

You must be in the same boat

Ain't it true now, you need love like I do, don't you?

Boy, I can tell by the way you look when I'm lookin' at you

Well, well, well, you need love like I do, don't you?

Boy, it seems like I'm lookin' in the mirror when I'm lookin' at you

I can't begin to tell how many nights I sit home lonely

Come on and tell me, boy, has it ever happened to you?

Boy, I'm gonna tell you somethin' and believe me, it ain't no joke

My love life is just like a sinkin' boat

I can understand a person being without money

But there sho' ain't no reason for a person to be without love

Listen to me now, I'm a girl and you're a guy

So come  on, let's give love a try

Dear little boy, you need love like I do, don't you?

I, I can tell by the way you look when I'm lookin' at you

Boy, findin' true love is a dream (Dream)

That everyone wants to come true (True)

Boy, can't you see it's up to us to make this dream come true? Oh, oh

You need love like I do, don't you?

I, I can tell by the way you look when I'm lookin' at you

Well, well, well, you need love like I do, don't you?

Boy, it seems like I'm lookin' in the mirror when I'm lookin' at you

You need love (Like I do, don't you?)

Ain't it true?

Ain't it true?

Ain't it true?

Ain't it true?

Well, well, well

You need love too (You need love like I do, don't you?)

Well, well, well, I can tell by the way you look when I'm lookin' at you

Hey, hey, hey, you need love like I do, don't you?

Boy, it seems like I'm lookin' in the mirror when I'm lookin' at you

You need love like I do, don't you?
