GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - I Need Love

(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)



Do you ever feel unhappy, don't know what you wanna do

Do you do you get slap happy, give and take a few

Oh I've never been this lonely, somethin' passed me by

I know what I'm missing, and it makes me cry

Hunting for bounty with a treasure map in my hand

And my secretary says she understands in short hand

Take a note, take a note

Did I really float, in my dreamboat

Is it time to try, before it passes me by



I need love, I need love, I need love

Give it to me

Don't deny me love, I need love, I need love

Lots of it

I wanna o. d. on it



I beg your pardon baby, maybe you can help me out

Could you move a little closer

We don't have to shout you see, I'm a desperate guy

You must've heard it all before

Oh you gotta go,- bye bye - Messin' me up some more

Hunting for bounty with a treasure map in my hand

And my secretary says she understands in short hand

Take a note, take a note

Did I really float in my dreamboat

Is it time to try before it passes me by



I need love, I need love, I need love

Give it to me

Don't deny me love

I need love, I need love

Lots of it

I wanna o. d. on love

I need love, I need love

Let me have it

Let me lay my hands on love

I need love, I need love

Come on, don't deny me love

You see, everybody's talking about love



(I need love, I need love)



To boil my eggs, to stretch my legs

To scratch my back, before I hit the sack

I need love and with a little bit of luck

Love and not just a quick

You know what: I need love
