Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People need hope, people need lovin’
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good livin’
People need faith in a helping hand
[Verse 2]
Man has always wanted a woman by his side
To keep him company
Women always knew that it takes a man
To get matrimonial harmony
Everybody knows that a man who’s feeling down
Wants some female sympathy
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have love ’til eternity
[Verse 3]
People need hope, people need lovin’
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good livin’
People need faith in a helping hand
[Verse 4]
Flowers in a desert need a drop of rain
Like a woman needs her man
If a man’s in love
And his woman wants the moon
Then he’ll take it down if he can
Somebody who loves you
And somebody who cares
Isn’t that what you call a friend
Gotta have love to carry on living
Isn’t it easy to understand
[Verse 5]
People need hope, people need lovin’
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good livin’
People need faith in a helping hand
[Verse 6]
People need hope, people need lovin’
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good livin’
People need faith in a helping hand
