[Verse 1]
Long ago you left home
Forced to make a life all on your own
Now you're successful, no one can doubt, no
But when it comes to peace of mind
You live without it
[Chorus]
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need, I think you need)
(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need love)
[Verse 2]
Now take a look and confess
That you're a lonely man, wastin' away
Your life is getting empty day by day
You take it out on your friends, you hurt their pride
Now, you know you're wrong, but you hide inside
[Chorus]
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
I think you need, I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
Oh, I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need love)
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm no doctor, but I can see
That your lifе is incomplete
You feel the need to cry, but you won't admit it
Your lifе is unhappy, but you're afraid to quit it
[Chorus]
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need, I think you need)
(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, I think you need love, baby
[Outro]
(I think you need love, baby)
Oh, I think you need love, baby
(I think you need, I think you need)
(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
Oh, I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need) to make your life complete
(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
Oh, I think you need love, baby
(I think you need, I think you need) take a look and confess
(I think you need love, baby) you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need) love, love
(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love...
Long ago you left home
Forced to make a life all on your own
Now you're successful, no one can doubt, no
But when it comes to peace of mind
You live without it
[Chorus]
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need, I think you need)
(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need love)
[Verse 2]
Now take a look and confess
That you're a lonely man, wastin' away
Your life is getting empty day by day
You take it out on your friends, you hurt their pride
Now, you know you're wrong, but you hide inside
[Chorus]
I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
I think you need, I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
Oh, I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need love)
[Verse 3]

(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, I think you need love, baby
[Outro]
(I think you need love, baby)
Oh, I think you need love, baby

(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
Oh, I think you need love, baby
(I think you need, I think you need) take a look and confess
(I think you need love, baby) you need love, baby
(I think you need love, baby)
I think you need love, baby
(Ooh, I think you need, I think you need) love, love
(I think you need love, baby) I think you need love...
