Face in the mirror looks the same
Every morning I keep looking for a change
Sometimes I wonder am I standing still in time
Tired of doing everything the same old way
Tired of playing all the games that people play
This running round in circles gives me no piece of mind
I need to find....

I need the emotion
I need to laugh sometimes
I need to cry

I need the emotion
Need to feel each passing day go by

I need the emotion
I need to love so hard I don't know what to do
And baby, I need you...
Ooooh

Sometimes I need a good old fashioned fight
It doesn't matter If I'm wrong or right
Please don't worry about it
You know how much I care
Sometimes I need to make love all day long

Sometimes I need to hold you in my arms
Let's drift away together
It doesn't matter where
As long as you're there cause I need...

I need the emotion
I need to laugh sometimes
I need to cry

I need the emotion
I need to love so hard I don't know what to do
And baby , I need you...
Oooooooooooh

Sometimes I need to tear the whole thing down
Sometimes I need to turn it all around
When I put it back together
I'll be calling out to you
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
