Lyrics

Well, well, well It seems like it was only yesterday (yes) When my momma told me, "Don't fall in love with the first girl that comes your way" She was pretty and nice, but I took her advice and passed her by (yes) Years have passed, and it don't look like love's gonna give me a second try Boy, the look on your face tells me you understand (yes) Could it be your love life, like mine needs a helping hand? Well You need love like I do, don't you? I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you (Take it girl) 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 dog-gone day Every day has been an uphill climb to keeping my hopes afloat Judging by your silence, boy, you must be in the same boat You need love like I do, don't you? I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you (well, well, well, well) You need love like I do, don't you? It seems like I'm looking in the mirror, when I'm looking at you I can't begin to tell how many nights I've sat home lonely Come on, tell me, girl, has it ever happened to you? 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 surely ain't a reason for a person to be without love Listen to me now, I'm a girl, and you're a guy (yes, it's true) Come on, let's give love a try (haha, yeah) You need love like I do, don't you? I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you Finding true love is a dream that everyone wants to come true Can't you see it's up to us to make this dream come true? Yeah, you need love like I do, don't you? 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? Well, it seems like I'm looking in the mirror when I'm looking at you Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Yes, it's so true Yeah, yeah, yeah Well, well, well, well, well, well, well You need love too (you need love) You need love like I do, don't you? I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you You need love like I do, don't you? Well, it seems like I'm looking in the mirror, when I'm looking at you (oh, Lord) You need love like I do, don't you? I can tell by the way you look when I'm looking at you You need love like I do, don't you? Well, it seems like I'm looking in the mirror when I'm looking at you Ain't it true, girl? (Yeah, I'm in love) I'm in love ('Cause I need you) and I need you too
