you need love

Singer:barclay james harvest

everybody's got to have a secret love

everyone's got to be free

free to believe that love lasts forever

everybody's got to have a shoulder to cry on

everyone's born with the need

the need to be loved in a moment of sadness

when you're all alone with the world on your shoulder

it's then that you'll know what i mean

you need love

you need love

everybody's got to have their moments of coldness

everyone's got to have warmth

a fire in their lives

so they join man and wife

after the fire

the flames and the passion

after the first years are gone

you still feel the need in a moment of sadness

you need love

you need love

when you're all alone with the world on your shoulder

it's then that you'll know what i mean

when you're all alone and there's no-one to talk to

it's then that you'll know what i mean

you need love

you need love
