Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
Always had a heart in my pants
Never went to school when I was happy
I never blew a second chance on love

I need love to keep me happy
I need love to keep me happy
Baby won't you keep me happy
Baby, keep me happy

I always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
I never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day

I need love to keep me happy
I need love, baby won't you keep me happy ?
Baby, keep me happy ?

Oh I need your love
It makes me feel good, keep me happy
Baby, keep me happy

I never got a flash out of a cocktail
When I got some flesh off the bone
I never got a lift off a Lear jet
When I can fly myself straight back home
I need love to keep me happy
I need love, baby won't you keep me happy ?
Baby, keep me happy ?

Yes I need love
To keep me satisfied
Baby won't you keep me happy ?
Baby, keep me feelin' alright

Keep me satisfied
I need love to keep me happy
I need love to keep me happy
I need your love to keep me happy...
