I'm runnin' here,

I'm runnin' there.

I'm lookin' for a girl.

'Cause there's nothin' I need,

there's nothin' I want more

in the whole wide world.



Well, I need it quick

and I need it now,

before I start to fade away.

That's why I'm searchin',

that's why I'm lookin'

each and ev'ry day.



Oo, I need some love.

I said I need some love!

Oo yes, I need some love

This feelin' I can't rise above.

Yeah, yeah!



Well I been hustlin' here,

I been hustlin' there.

I been searchin' for about a week.

And I started feelin'

this strange sensation.

My knees are startin' gettin' weak.



Well I need what keeps

a young man alive;

I'm sayin' I need it now.

I'm gonna get the message

across to you

someway, somehow.



Oo, I need some love.

I said I need some love!

Oo yes, I need some love

This feelin' I can't rise above.

Oo, yeah yeah
