I need love
I left my conscience like a crying child
Locked the door behind me put the pain on file
Broken like a window i see my blindness now
I need love
Not some sentimental prison
I need god
Not the political church
I need fire
To melt the frozen sea inside me
I need love
Driving into town tired and depressed
Like a flare the streetlight bursts into an s.o.s.
Peace comes to my rescue i don't know what it means
I need loveI need love
And I search it everyplace I go
And lately I been in a zone
It's got a will of its own
But right now I'm here to discuss
Just what you think about us
I need love, I need love
And I'm checkin everything I see
You know at times I wanna take on three
That's just the way I could be
I let you know about that
Just so you know where I'm at
I need love, I need love
It's always been this way and ain't' nothin'
Gonna change it
And ain't nothing you can try
I need love, I need love
And I'm takin every chance I man
And baby you could make my day
There's just one thing I should say
Now that's it's all said and done
You know I do need to run
I need love, I need loveI just wanna tell you how I feel
I just wanna have a love that's real
How can I stop this burning desire
I can see that you're the one for me
You're the only one I really need
I need a love that burns like a fire
All I wanna do is give it a chance
Everybody needs a true romance
I would give anything to be with you
I will give you all the love you need
If you only give your love to me
What would I do if I were without you
I need love
You need love
We all really need love
All I want
All I need
We all really need loveIt's nothing personal, in other circumstances
Another place, another time, I would take my chances
Oh, I know I could take you home tonight
But I don't wanna wake up with you, wishing I was alone
Ah, don't rush, 'cos when the timing's right, I'll know, I wanna be sure
I just can't play the game anymore
Chorus:
I'm not lookin' for a band-aid on loneliness
I'm not lookin' for a temporary get-me-thru-the-night
I'm holdin' out for something more than physical
I need love to make the sex right
It's nothing personal, in other circumstances
Another place, another time, and I might take my chances
I want you, and I'm not hiding from the way I feel
I've been tryin' to fill this empty heart with something not real
And I don't wanna live like that anymore
In a world going crazy, these days you really got to be sure, so
(chorus)
(sex right)
Times are different than before, good things are worth waiting for
It's nothing personal, in other circumstances, another place, another time
(Solo)
No - (chorus)
I need love (it's nothing personal)
(chorus - with "to make it feel right")
(It's nothing personal)
(chorus to fade)
