"Everybody Needs Love" lyrics

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Ah, say you wanna be loved
A-but you won't let me love you
Mmm-hmm, you say you want someone to trust in you
Can't you see that's what I'm tryin' to do?

I know you've been hurt before
And you're afraid to try love once more

Without love by your side (Love's alright, girl)
You're only half-alive (Ooh)
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah, baby
Everybody needs love, ooh

Say you wanna be kissed, mmm
But you won't let me kiss you, oh baby
Say you wanna be missed
Can't you see how my arms are missing you? (Love's alright)

He's got you hurting so inside
And now from love, you try to hide

But no matter how you try (Love's alright, girl)
Without love, you can't survive (Ooh)
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love, let me tell you

Love's alright, mmm-hmm, alright (Alright)
(Love's alright, girl) Ooh (Ooh)
(Love's alright, girl) Ooh
(You need love) Yeah
(I need love)
(Everybody in the whole wide world needs love)

Baby, baby, ah
You say you wake up in the morning (Love's alright)
Feeling empty inside, oh
I bet I know what your trouble is, girl
You need someone like me by your side (Love's alright)

I know you've been hurt before
But don't be afraid to try love once more

'Cause without love, you'll find (Love's alright, girl)
You'll have no peace of mind (Ooh)
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Baby, everybody needs love

Let me tell you that you need love, I need love
Everybody in the world needs love
'Cause love's, love's alright (Love's alright, girl, ooh)
Mmm-hmm, alright (Everybody needs love)

I said that you need love, baby, I need love
Everybody in the world needs love
(Everybody in the whole wide world needs)
(Love's alright, girl, ooh) Ooh, baby
Love's alright, one more time now, baby (Everybody needs love)

You need love, I need love
Everybody, everybody
(Everybody in the whole wide world needs)
(Love's alright, girl, ooh) Love's alright
Alright (Everybody needs love)

Say it again now
You need love, I need love
