You Need a Love

You got such a bad attitude
Too much guilt and other self-inflicted wounds
You suffer so much, your heart is black and blue
I think I know what is wrong with you

You need a love – yes, you do
You need a love, I'm telling you
Oh, you need a love – yes, you do
Someone to hold you, someone to pull you through
Someone to pull you through, oh yeah

Oh
Oh yeah

I'm not your mother, I'm not your fool
I've got your number, so don't act so cool
Who are you fooling? – oh, It sure ain't me
Better listen: there's something missing

You need a love – yes, you do
You need a love, I'm telling you
You need a love – yes, you do
To be your best friend, bring out the best in you
Bring out the best in you, oh

Oh yeah

It's so obvious, it's so true
Nothing else can make you feel so good

Get on your good dress, fix up your hair
Oh, get on your good side and get out there
Don't be an island, oh, don't he alone
You better grab your chance before it's gone, yeah

You need a love – yes, you do
You need a love, I'm telling you
Oh, you need a love – yes, you do
Someone to hold you, someone to pull you through

Oh, you need a…
You need a love – yes, you do
Be your best friend, bring out the best in you

You need a love
You need a love
You need a love
You need a love
You need a love
You need a love
You need a love, whoa
