YOU NEED LOVE LIKE I DO (DON'T YOU) Gladys Knight and the Pips Well, well, well, well Seems like it was only yesterday When my mama told me don't fall in love With the first guy that comes your way He was handsome and nice But I took her advice and passed him by Years have passed and don't look Like love's gonna give me a second try Boy the look on your face tells me you understand could it be your love life's like mine Needs a helping hand well, well You need love like I do (don't you). Boy I can tell by the way You look when I'm looking at you I know it ain't fit and proper for a girl to talk this way But I can't cope with this loneliness Not one more doggone day Everyday has been an uphill climb Keeping my hopes a-float Judging from your silence boy You must be in the same boat ain't it true now You need love like I do (don't you) Boy I can tell by the way you look When I'm looking at you Well, well, well you need love Like I do (don't you) Boy it seems like I'm looking in the mirror When I'm looking at you I can't begin to tell The many nights I sit home lonely Come on and tell me boy Has it ever happened to you Boy 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 I'm a girl and you're a guy So come on let's give love a try Tell me lil' boy You need love like I do (don't you) I can tell by the way you look When I'm looking at you Boy finding true love is a dream That everyone wants to come true Boy can't you see it's up to us To make this dream come true oh.
