Who Needs Love?
[DANIELLE]
Who needs love? Love is just distraction
Love is just a reason for forgetting all your cares
I ask you: who needs love?
Love brings satisfaction?
Loves another word for being bored in pairs
Who needs love?
Really when you think, I’ve got pigs to feed and there are dishes in the sink
And I’ve got bread to bake, and horse manure to shove
Really when you think about it, who needs love?
Love and its raging fire, and its wild desire, and its drunken haze
Love and its sweet embrace, and its joy and yearning
You can keep your joy and yearning, I’ve got porridgе and it’s burning
Who needs love? Love’s for other pеople
All the other people who have nothing else to do
So they go two by two underneath the steeple
I would think about that twice if I were you
Why let go? Why surrender trust?
A knight in shining armor is just one more thing to dust
And I’ve got lots of dust, that needs disposing of
Really when you think about it
Really when you think about it
Really when you think about it
Who needs love?
I suppose there are times when lying in a meadow
Swimming in the river, thoughts might cross my mind
Or maybe once in a while, when I’m simmering a stew
Or sewing up a curtain, or watching you
Who needs love? Love that lasts forever
Love that’s real and meant to be, and passionate, and tall
I ask you: who needs love?
Me? Not now. Now ever
There are some, you know, who don’t need love at all
Why spend time staring at the moon?
Dreaming of a person who might change your life, and soon
And if at times I wish on stars that shine above
Really when you think about it
Really when you think about it
Really when you think about it
Who needs love?
