You can read out your Bible
Go down on your knees
Pray to the Lord
But it ain't gonna do no good
You can go to the White House
Gaze at the Capitol Dome
You can pound on the gate
But you know it's gonna be too late

You're gonna need
You're gonna need my love someday
You're gonna need
You're gonna need my love someday

You can run to the desert
Fall on the burning sand
You can raise up your hand
But you know you're gonna lose your man
You can hitchhike on the highway
And stand by the side of the road
You can try to flag a ride
But you can't ride in my car no more

You're gonna need
You're gonna need my love someday
If you can't quit your lyin'
Please quit your low down ways
You're gonna need
You're gonna need my love someday
And if you can't quit your lyin'
Please quit your low down ways
