In the evening
When the day is done
I'm looking for a woman
But the girl [bad word] 

But I'm not gonna let her
Let her play me for a fool
She don't show no pity, baby
No, she don't make [bad word] 

Oh, I need your love
Oh, I need your love
Ooh, oh, I need your love
I just got to have

So don't you let her
Let her get under your skin
It's only bad luck and trouble
From the day that you begin

I hear you crying in the dark
I hear you calling out for help
There's no pockets full of mercy, baby
You can only blame yourself

Oh, I need your love
Oh, I need your love
Ooh, oh, I need your love
I just got to have

Oh, I need your love
Oh, I need your love
Ooh, I need your love
I just got

Oh, it's so simple
All the pain that you go through
But you can turn away from fortune, from fortune
'Cause that's all that's left to you

It's lonely at the bottom
Man, it's dizzy at the top
Then you're standing in the middle, no
Well, there's no way you're gonna stop

Oh, I need your love
Oh, I need your love
Oh, I need your love
