[Verse 1]
Now you might be successful
In everything you do
And without even trying
All good things just come to you
Diamonds and pearls
Success throughout the world
Pleasures and treasures
Friends beyond measure
But still

[Chorus]
You need love
You need love, yeah

[Verse 2]
Growin' up in school
You were smart as can be
At the head of the class
Admired by everyone you passed
You finally made it in life
Finally gotten ahead
Now you got it made, made in the shade
But still

[Chorus]
You need love
You need love, yеah
[Verse 3]
Life been treatin' you good
You gettin' a free ridе
And anytime you need love
There is someone there by your side
No more rough bumps
You finally gotten over the hump
Money you got in stacks
And there's no lookin' back
But still

[Chorus]
You need love
You need love, yeah
Still, you need love

[Post-Chorus]
(You need it) You need love
(You need love) No more rough bumps
(You need it) You finally gotten over the hump
(You need love still, you need love)
(You need it) You got money in them stacks
(You need love) And there's no lookin' back
(You need it) But still
(You need love) You need love
(You need it) You need love
(You need love) You need love
(You need it) You need love
