When I touch your hand don't you understand? I've been wantin' you so long And how long can we wait? Girl, it seems so late I've been wantin' you so long Girl, it seems like years Now, I can't hide my tears (So long) When I sleep I find that I can't sleep 'cause you're on my mind I've been wantin' you so long I wake up and then, I think of you once again I've been wantin' you so long Girl, how long can this go on? You know I can't make it on my own (So long) I don't think you understand, girl, the world's an awful lonely place today And a man can't make it by himself, he needs a sweet woman like you Someone to, to hold his hand and touch his face, be waitin' there at night And when he's walkin' down the long, lonely streets He knows he's gonna walk through that door and find his woman there And a warm fire and warm bed, and he's gonna grab her in his arms He's gonna hold her, he's gonna love her He's gonna love her, gonna love her so hard, so hard, so hard, so hard Girl, that's what the world needs is love, yeah, love, love Love, girl, love, don't you know? I need and you need, we all need love, love, love, love, love, love Love, girl, love, love, love
