Come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get my love
Come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get my love
Come and get it
Come and get it
Come and get my love
Something's on your mind
Something hard to find
Every now and then you smile
Slips away just for a while
Don't you know your tears
Can run like water here
There's no need to feel ashamed
If you let me, I'll explain
You need to be loved
No matter what you say
You need to be loved
'Cause there will come a day when
There'll be people who will get beneath your skin
And they'll take advantage when you let them in
Girl, the world is full of fools
Who will hurt you being cruel
Just like knives into your heart
Unkind words will find their mark
So let me have the chance
To give you some confidence
'Cause it hurts me seeing how
You don't trust nobody now
Oh, yesterday is gone
And mistakes can make you strong
They will help you realize
What you're missing in your life
You need to be loved
That's what's missing, girl (Baby)
You need to be loved
Sheltered from the world
You're so vulnerable, so soft and delicate
You're the kind someone like me just wants to protect
I've been waiting here for you
Just like all the time I do
After you have tried the rest
You will find my love is best, oh
Girl, yeah
(You know I love you
You know I love you)
Oh, girl
(My love, my love)
Come and get it (You need to be loved)

I'm the one who's really gonna set you free
Yeah
