Well, well, well, well
Seems like it was only yesterday
When my mama told me don`t fall in love
With the first guy that comes your way
He was handsome and nice
But I took her advice and passed him by
Years have passed and don`t look
Like love`s gonna give me a second try
Boy the look on your face tells me you understand
could it be your love life`s like mine
Needs a helping hand well, well
You need love like I do (don`t you).
Boy I can tell by the way
You look when I`m looking at you
I know it ain`t fit and proper
for a girl to talk this way
But I can`t cope with this loneliness
Not one more doggone day
Everyday has been an uphill climb
Keeping my hopes a-float
Judging from your silence boy
You must be in the same boat
ain`t it true now
You need love like I do (don`t you)
Boy I can tell by the way you look
When I`m looking at you
Well, well, well you need love
Like I do (don`t you)
Boy it seems like I`m looking in the mirror
When I`m looking at you
I can`t begin to tell
The many nights I sit home lonely
Come on and tell me boy
Has it ever happened to you
Boy I`m gonna tell you something
And believe me it ain`t no joke
My love life is just like a sinking boat
I can understand a person being without money
But there sho` ain`t no reason
For a person to be without love
Listen to me now
I`m a girl and you`re a guy
So come on let`s give love a try
Tell me lil` boy
You need love like I do (don`t you)
I can tell by the way you look
When I`m looking at you
Boy finding true love is a dream
That everyone wants to come true
Boy can`t you see it`s up to us
To make this dream come true oh
