You say you wanna be loved
But you won't let me love you
You say you want someone to trust in you
Can't you see that's what I'm trying to do?
I know you've been hurt before
& you're afraid to try love once more
But without a love by your side, you're only half a man
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
You say you wanna be kissed (wanna be kissed)
But you won't let me kiss you (no no no)
You say you wanna be missed
Can't you see how my arms are missing you?
She's got you, honey, so inside
& now from love, you're trying to hide
But no matter how you try, without love you can't survive
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
(instrumental)
You need love, I need love, everybody needs love
You say you wake up in the morning (wake up in the morning)
Feelin' empty inside
Well, I know what your trouble is
You need someone by your side
I know you've been hurt before
But don't be afraid to try love once more
Without love you find you have no peace of mïnd
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
(repeat & fade) :
You need love, baby, I need love, everybody needs love
But you won't let me love you
You say you want someone to trust in you
Can't you see that's what I'm trying to do?
I know you've been hurt before
& you're afraid to try love once more
But without a love by your side, you're only half a man
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
You say you wanna be kissed (wanna be kissed)
But you won't let me kiss you (no no no)
You say you wanna be missed
Can't you see how my arms are missing you?
She's got you, honey, so inside
& now from love, you're trying to hide
But no matter how you try, without love you can't survive
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
(instrumental)
You need love, I need love, everybody needs love
You say you wake up in the morning (wake up in the morning)
Feelin' empty inside
Well, I know what your trouble is
You need someone by your side
I know you've been hurt before
But don't be afraid to try love once more
Without love you find you have no peace of mïnd
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
