[Verse 1]
People like you and i always hurt one another
Until there's nothing left to hurt no more
You and i will always hear different drummers
You just go your way, i'll go mine
You and i always take from each other
Until there's nothing left to give no more
You and i are just like lightning and thunder
We never let the sun just shine

[Chorus]
I need some old time re-loving
You know i need it so bad
Gimme some old time re-loving
Just like my old daddy always had

[Verse 2]
(Ba ba ba - ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba - ba ba)
(Ba ba ba ba doo da do'n'ba doo'n'doo ba)
You and i will always hear different drummers
You just go your way, i'll go mine

[Chorus]
I need some old time re-loving
You know i need it so bad
Gimme some old time re-loving
Just like my old daddy said he had

[Chorus]
I need some old time re-loving
You know i need it so bad
Gimme some old time re-loving
Just like my old daddy always had

[Outro]
Just like my old mummy always had
Just like my old sister said she had
What did she have?

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
