Well, well, well, well   Seems like it was only yesterday   When my Mama told me don't fall in love   With the first guy that comes your way   He was handsome and nice   But I took her advice and passed him by      Years have passed and don't look   Like love's gonna give me a second try   Boy the look on your face tells me you understand   Could it be your love life's like mine?   Needs a helping hand      Well, well, you need love like I do, don't you?   Boy I can tell by the way   You look, when I'm looking at you      I know it ain't fit and proper   For a girl to talk this way   But I can't cope with this loneliness   Not one more doggone day      Everyday has been an uphill climb   Keeping my hopes a-float   Judging from your silence boy   You must be in the same boat      Ain't it true now   You need love like I do, don't you?   Boy I can tell by the way you look   When I'm looking at you   Well, well, well you need love like I do, don't you?   Boy it seems like I'm looking in the mirror   When I'm looking at you      I can't begin to tell   The many nights I sit home lonely   Come on and tell me boy   Has it ever happened to you?      Boy I'm gonna tell you something   And believe me, it ain't no joke   My love life is just like a sinking boat   I can understand a person being without money   But there sho' ain't no reason   For a person to be without love      Listen to me now   I'm a girl and you're a guy   So come on let's give love a try   Tell me lil' boy, you need love like I do, don't you?   I can tell by the way you look   When I'm looking at you      Boy finding true love is a dream   (Dream)   That everyone wants to come true   (True)   Boy can't you see it's up to us   To make this dream come true? Oh      You need love like I do, don't you?   I can tell by the way you look   When I'm looking at you   Well, well, well you need love like I do, don't you?   Boy it seems like I'm looking in the mirror   When I'm looking at you      You need love, like I do, don't you?   Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Ain't it true?   Well, well   You need love   (You need love like I do, don't you?)   Well, well, well, I can tell by the way you look   When I'm looking at you      Hey, hey, hey, you need love like I do, don't you?   For it seems like I'm looking at the mirror   When I'm looking at you   No, you need love like I do, don't you?
