Gladys Knight And The Pips Everybody Needs Love Lyrics

Everybody Needs Love Lyrics

Say you wanna be loved

But you won't let me love you

Say you want someone to trust in you, baby

Can't you see that's what I'm tryin' to do?



I know you've been hurt before

And you're afraid to try love once more



Without love by your side

You're only half alive

'Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah

Everybody needs love



Say you wanna be kissed

But you won't let me kiss you

Say you wanna be missed

Can't you see how my arms are missing you?



She's got you hurting so inside

Now, with love you try to hide



But no matter how you try

Without love you can't survive

'Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah

Everybody needs love, oh, love's alright



You need love, I need love, everybody needs love

Baby, don't you know that?

You need love and I need love

Everybody needs love



Say you wake up in the morning, yes, you will

Feeling, ooh, so empty inside

I bet I know what your trouble is, baby

You need someone like me by your side



I know you've been hurt before

But don't be afraid to try love once more



'Cause without love you'll find

You'll have no peace of mind

'Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah

Everybody needs love



You need love and I need love

Everybody needs love, love, love

You need love, I sure need love

Everybody needs love
