I'm runnin' here,
I'm runnin' there.
I'm lookin' for a girl.
'Cause there's nothin' I need,
there's nothin' I want more
in the whole wide world.

Well, I need it quick
and I need it now,
before I start to fade away.
That's why I'm searchin',
that's why I'm lookin'
each and ev'ry day.

Oo, I need some love.
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above.
Yeah, yeah!

Well I been hustlin' here,
I been hustlin' there.
I been searchin' for about a week.
And I started feelin'
this strange sensation.
My knees are startin' gettin' weak.

Well I need what keeps
a young man alive;
I'm sayin' I need it now.
I'm gonna get the message
across to you
someway, somehow.

Oo, I need some love.
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above.
Oo, yeah yeah!
