[Chorus: Lyn Collins & James Brown]
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey

[Verse 1: James Brown]
One day, found myself feeling sad
But then I remember all the times that we had
Then I knew it wasn't what I was doing
I find out for myself it was what I wasn't doing for
And I said...

[Chorus: Lyn Collins & James Brown]
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey

[Verse 2: Lyn Collins]
Some people now sing
But they don't know what it's all about
And I promised myself, I, I, I wouldn't lose it, baby

[Chorus: Lyn Collins & James Brown]
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey

[Bridge: James Brown]
I love you, darling, I know it's true
But when the times get hard, I believe you would be with me too
[Chorus: Lyn Collins & James Brown]
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey

[Bridge: Lyn Collins]
Our love grows stronger day by day
And when people try to break us up, I said "Ain't no way"

[Chorus: Lyn Collins & James Brown]
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
What my baby needs now is a little more lovin', hey hey
