Give me two strong arms To protect myself Give me so much love That I forget myself I need to swing from limb to limb To relieve this mess I'm in 'Cause when depression starts to win I need to be right by your side No one seems to touch me In the way you do Nothing seems to hurt me When I'm close to you I'm so full of desire When you set my head on fire I need to be right by your side Every single one of us needs Love, love, love Everybody needs to give and receive love Every single day can drag us Down, down, down But there's nothing left to fear When love gets into town I'm so full of desire When you set my head on fire I need to be right by your side
