Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me a tale that always was
Sing me a song that I'll always be in
Tell me a story that I can read
Tell me a story that I believe
[Verse 2]
Paint me a picture that I can see
Give me a touch that I can feel
Turn me around so I can be
Everything I was meant to be
[Verse 3]
Lord, I need lovin'
Lord, I need good, good lovin'
Lord, I need lovin'
Lord, I need good, good lovin'
[Verse 4]
Show me some strength that I can use
Give me a sound that I won't refuse
Tell me a story that I can read
Tell me a story that I believe
[Verse 5]
Tell me a tale that always was
Sing me a song that I'll always be in
Turn me around so I can be
Everything I was meant to be
[Verse 6]
Lord, I need lovin'
Lord, I need good, good lovin'
Lord, I need lovin'
Lord, I need good, good lovin'
Lord, I need lovin'
Lord, I need good, good lovin'
Yeah, I need lovin'
Lord, I need good, good lovin'
[Verse 7]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, whoa, whoa, oh
[Verse 8]
Tell me a tale that always was
Yeah, tell me somethin'
