In the evenin', when the day is done
I'm lookin' for a woman, oh, but the girl don't come
So don't let her play you for no fool
A-she don't show no pity, baby
You know that she don't make no rule
Oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I've just gotta have
So don't you let her, oh, get under your skin
It's only bad luck and trouble
Oh, from the day that she'll begin
I hear you cryin' in the darkness, mm-don't ask nobody's help
Oh, ain't no pockets full of mercy, baby
'cause you can only blame yourself
Oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Ooh, yeah, I need your love, I've gotta have
Ooh, it's simple, all the pain that you'll go through
You can't turn away from fortune, fortune, fortune
'cause that's all that's left to you
Hey, it's lonely at the bottom, man, it's dizzy at the top
but when you're standin' in the middle, oh-ho-oh
Ain't no way you gonna stop, oh, babe
Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Oh, oh, I need your love, I've gotta have
Ooh, whatever that your days may bring
there's no use hidin' in the corner, ah, oh, no
Honey, that won't change a thing
If you're dancin' in the doldrums
One day soon it's got to stop, it's got to stop
You're master of the off-chance when you don't expect a lot, oh
Oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Ooh, yeah, I need your love, I've gotta have, I've gotta have
Oh, baby, I've gotta have your love, I've gotta have
Oh, baby, I've gotta have your lo-wove, oh-whoa, I do, girl
Ohh, ohh, I've gotta have your love
Just got, I've just got to, I've just got to, oh, love
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
