[Intro]
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Boy, it's tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn't shine
And a boy needs a girl
It's about getting out of a rut
You need luck
But you're stuck and you don't know how

[Chorus 1: Neil Tennant]
(Don't have to be)
A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive)
A super car to get far
(Don't have to live)
A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be)
Beautiful but it helps
(Don't have to buy)
A house in Beverly Hills
(Don't have to have)
Your daddy paying the bills
(Don't have to live)
A life of powеr and wealth
(Don't have to be)
Bеautiful but it helps

[Post-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant]
You need more
Than a big blank check to be a lover, or
A Gulfstream jet to fly you door to door
Somewhere chic on another shore
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need love

[Interlude]
You need love
You need love

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
Too much of anything is never enough
Too much of everything is never enough

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Boy, it's tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn't shine
And a boy needs a girl
It's about getting out of a rut
You need luck but you're stuck
And you don't know how

[Chorus 2: Neil Tennant]
(Don't have to be)
A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive)
A super car to get far
(Don't have to wear)
A smile much colder than ice
(Don't have to be)
Beautiful, but it's nice

[Post-Chorus 2: Neil Tennant]
You need more
Than the Gerhard Richter hanging on your wall
A chauffeur driven limousine on call
To drive your wife and lover to a white tie ball
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need love

[Chorus 3: Neil Tennant]
(Don't have to be)
A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive)
A super car to get far
(Don't have to live)
A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be)
