I Need a Love
Doo doo ooh ooh
Doo doo ooh ooh
One sunny day I was walking along
I was fine in a casual way (well)
When there in the park sat a pretty girl
Though our eyes met we had nothing to say
And then I knew, before we were through
I'd need her love, need her love
I wanted to stop, but gave in to myself
For my shyness left me with no choice (well)
She could have been waiting for somebody else
When her said next to me, in a soft spoken voice
And then I knew, before we were through
I'd need her love
And as she smiled her eyes, kept on blinkin'
I had never known such charm and delight
And as we talked it all, set me to thinkin'
I'd be somewhat proud, to have her be my wife (well)
Doo doo ooh ooh
Doo doo ooh ooh
There comes a time in most every man's life
When he feels he should soon settle down
I'd wanted many a girl, but none as a wife
Until at last you I found
And then I knew, before we were through
I'd need her love, everybody needs some love now
Need her love, c'mon and love me too
Need her love
Need her love
