|
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.
