Ooh, I need your love, babe
Guess you know it’s true
Hope you need my love, babe
Just like I need you
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain’t got nothing but love, babe
Eight days a week.
Love you every day, girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say, girl
Love you all the time
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain’t got nothing but love, girl
