All around the world,
|
Every boy and every girl,
|
Need the loving.
|
The humble and the great,
|
Even those we think we hate,
|
Need the loving.
|
|
Soldiers of the Queen,
|
All the hard men that we've seen,
|
Need the loving.
|
Babies at the breast,
|
Those in power and those suppressed,
|
Need the loving.
|
|
Let's face it you just can't hide,
|
Your first taste'll send you reeling,
|
Like a firework to which we're tied,
|
Be prepared to go through your ceiling now.
|
|
The loving's coming,
|
The loving's more than just an ad man's vision.
|
The loving's strumming,
|
On your heart strings,
|
So loud that you can't help but listen.
|
|
Sailors on the seas,
|
Or the clergy on their knees,
|
Need the loving.
|
All the rich and poor,
|
Even those we fight at war,
|
Need the loving.
|
|
That thing that we need most of,
|
That stuff we should try before we've died.
|
Everyone is begging to be loved,
|
With a free gift, a working heart inside.
|
|
The loving's coming,
|
The loving's advertised in all the papers.
|
The loving's humming,
|
Your favourite song,
|
For once it won't annoy the neighbours.
|
|
The loving, the loving.
|
|
All round the world,
|
Every boy and every girl,
|
Need the loving.
|
Cold-hearted or warm,
|
Every single person born,
|
Needs the loving.
|
|
Way out there in space,
|
Think we'll find that alien race,
|
Needs the loving.
|
And just to end the list,
|
Everything that could exist,
|
Needs the loving.
|
|
The loving's coming!
