Jimmy Ruffin Everybody Needs Love
You say you wanna be loved
But you won't let me love you (no, no, no)
You say you want someone to trust in you
Can't you see that's what I'm trying to do
I know you've been hurt before
And you're afraid to try love once more
Without love by your side you're only half alive
'Cause everybody needs love oh yeah
Yeah, everybody needs love
You say you wanna be kissed
But you won't let me kiss you (no, no, no)
You say you wanna be missed
Can't you see how my arms are missing you
She's got you hurting so inside
So now from love you try to hide
But no matter how you try without love you can't survive
'Cause everybody needs love oh yeah
Baby everybody needs love cause it's alright
You need love girl and I need love
Listen everybody needs love
You say you wake up in the morning
Feeling empty inside (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know what your trouble is
You need someone like me by your side
I know you've been hurt before
But don't be afraid to try love once more
'Cause without love you'll find
You'll have no peace of mind
'Cause everybody needs love oh yeah
Yeah, everybody needs love baby
You need love and I need love
Hey, everybody needs love, love, love
(You need love and I need love yeah)
(Everybody needs love)
Believe me baby!
You need love, I said I need love baby
Everybody needs love, love, love
(You need love)
