Everybody's got to have a secret love   Everyone's got to be free   Free to believe that love lasts forever   Everybody's got to have a shoulder to cry on   Everyone's born with the need   The need to be loved in a moment of sadness   When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder   It's then that you'll know what I mean   You need love   You need love    Everybody's got to have their moments of coldness   Everyone's got to have warmth   A fire in their lives, so they join man and wife   After the fire, the flames and the passion   After the first years are gone   You still feel the need in a moment of sadness   You need love   You need love       When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder   It's then that you'll know what I mean   When you're all alone and there's no-one to talk to   It's then that you'll know what I mean   You need love   You need love
