{We gonna do something a little different for y'all on this song   Because me and my mama was watching the news   The other day and we saw a lot of thangs that's goin' on in the world   And mama just happen to just come up with some lyrics to a song}      {She said "I want y'all to sing this song for me on this CD   'Cause y'all never sang a song for me before"   And ah, this was written by mama   And this is what mama told me to tell y'all, she said}      We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above   We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above      Look into the mirror of life and tell me what you see   I see people all over the world who needs to know the meanin' of love   Let me tell you what real love is all about if you see a man down   Don't step on him, reach down and pick him up   Pick him up, give him a helpin' hand      We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above   We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above      Oh, see that mother over there strugglin' to survive   She has about five little children no food or clothes to put on their backs   And what you should do if you see somebody like that   You should go up to them lend them a helping hand   Offer a roof over their head 'cause the world is in need of love like that      We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above   We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above      K-Ci help me, K-Ci help me, tell 'em where we need love   USA, Africa, Bosnia, Ethiopia, Korea and China even Iraq too   Even in Haiti, that's what we all need      We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above   We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above      We all need that kind of love that special love like the love from above   We all need that kind of love that special love like the love from above
