You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You)

Seems like it was only yesterday

When my mama told me, don't fall in love

With the first girl that comes your way

She was fine, fine, fine, but I passed by

Years have passed

Don't look like love gonna give me a second try

Oh, the look on your face tells me you understand

Could it be your love life like mine

Needs a helping hand well, well, well

You need love like I do, don't you?

Girl, I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

I know it ain't fit and proper

For a guy to talk this way

But, I can't cope with this loneliness

Not one more doggone day

Every day has been an uphill climb

Keeping my hopes afloat

Judging from your silence girl

You must be in the same boat, ain't it true?

Now, you need love like I do, don't you?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

Girl, you need love like I do, don't you?

It seems like I'm looking in the mirror

When I'm looking at you

I can't begin to tell

How many nights I sit home lonely

Come on and tell me, girl

Has it ever happened to you

I'm gonna tell you something

And believe me it ain't no joke

My love life is just like a sinking boat

I can understand a person being without money

But there sho' ain't no reason

For a person to be without love

Listen to me now

You're a girl and I'm a guy

So come on, let's give love a try

Ain't it true now?

You need love like I do, don't you?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

Girl, find true love is a dream (dream)

That everyone wants to come true (true)

Girl, can't you see it's up to us

To make this dream come true, oh

You need love like I do, don't you?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

You need love like I do, don't you?

It seems like I'm looking in the mirror

When I'm looking at you (girl, I said that)

You need love like I do, don't you?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

You need love like I do, don't you?

It seems like I'm looking in the mirror

When I'm looking at you

Girl, you need love like I do, don't you?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

You need love like I do, don't you?

Ain't it true? Ain't it true?

Ain't it true? Ain't it true?

You need love too

You need love like I do, don't you?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

Girl, you need love like I do, don't you?
