Every boy and every girl needs a love like mine
I was sick in my room
One day in the afternoon
My baby came in to me
She said
Lee, I'm gonna ease your misery
She said
Honey don't you worry
Let me tell you this
She sit by me
And call me sweet names
She say all the sweet word
A man like to hear
I tell ya, the sweet things
She do for me
Oh
Every boy and every girl needs a love like mine
Oh one of these days
I'm gonna take her hand
And tell her how proud I am to be
The one and only man
And I say this
Honey don't you worry
That I'm gonna send out
Call her sweet names
And her all the things
A woman likes to hear
The sweet things she do for me
I tell ya
Every boy and every girl needs a love like mine
Every boy and every girl needs a love like mine
I just want the whole wide world to know
Every boy and every girl needs a love like mine
