Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know I can't get
I said, I can't get
No-no, I can't get
The love I need, the love I need
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm just wasting time
Trying to get a fish on a line
Anyway, I'm a man, so I got to try
Maybe I'm just hard to please
But then again, it's just my needs
Maybe it's just the way that I aim high
[Verse 3]
Because I can't get
No-no, I can't get
You know I can't get
The love I need, the love I need
[Verse 4]
Know that it's love it takes
To keep this man in me awake
And I find it hard to compromise
There's no mountain hard to climb
When I get the love I need full time
To keep me satisfied, and adjust my size
[Verse 5]
Therefore, I can't get
You know I can't get
No-no, I, I can't get
The love I need, the love I need
[Verse 6]
Don't want no part-time love
I don't want no part-time love
Don't want no part-time love
Don't want no part-time love
[Verse 7]
Because I can't get
I know I can't get
No-no, I, I can't get
The love I need, the love I need
[Verse 8]
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
And I don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Part-time love (The love I need) (The love I need)
Don't want no part-time love
