[Chorus] What my baby needs now Is a little more loving What my baby needs now Is a little more loving One day, found myself Feeling sad But then I remembered All the times that we had Then I knew it Wasn't what I was doing I found out for myself It was what I Wasn't doing for you And I said [Chorus] Some people laughing They don't know what it's all about And I, I promise myself I, I, I won't lose out [Chorus] I love you, darling I know it's true And when the times get hard I know you're gonna see me through [Chorus] Our love grows Stronger day by day And when people Try to break us up I say, ain't no way [Chorus:Repeat x3]
