You need a job, so you can make some money 
You need a nice warm place to stay 
A sense of humor 'cause life ain't funny 
A big stick keeps the wolves away 

You need a car with good tyres on it 
The right place to eat barbecue 
A heavy duty set of jumper cables 
No holes in your walkin' shoes 

The main thing you're gonna find, you need 
A fertile place to plant your seed 

Gotta find somebody to love you 
Someone to be there for you night and day 
Somebody to share with, be a part of you 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 
You got to give it away 

I got to recommend some Life Insurance 
Be prepared to dial 911 
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure 
Stay away from the man with the gun 

You need a reason to get up in the mornin' 
Make sure the clock got snooze control 
Be sure you got a place to run for cover 
'Cause overnight things can get real cold 

You're gonna find that sooner or later 
You need a common denominator 

You gotta find somebody to love 
Someone to be there night and day 
Someone to share with, be a part of you 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 
Oh, give it away 

The main thing you're gonna go, what you need 
A fertile place where the plant you seed 

You got to find somebody to love 
Someone to be there for you night and day 
Someone to share with, be a part of you 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 

You gotta find somebody to love 
Be there for you night and day 
Someone to share, be a part of you 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 

Gotta find somebody, you gotta find somebody 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 

You gotta find somebody to love 
Someone to be there for you night and day 
Someone to share with, be a part of you 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 

Love ain't no good till you give it away 
Love ain't no good till you give it away 
Gotta give it away, gotta give it away
