You Need Love Like I Do (with Heather Small) Songtext
von Tom Jones

Well, well, well
It seems like it was only yesterday (yes)
When my momma told me, "Don′t fall in love with the first girl that comes your way"
She was pretty and nice, but I took her advice and passed her by (yes)
Years have passed, and it don't look like love′s gonna give me a second try

Boy, the look on your face tells me you understand (yes)
Could it be your love life, like mine needs a helping hand? Well

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you
(Take it girl)

I know it ain′t fit and proper for a girl to talk this way
But I can′t cope with this loneliness, not one more dog-gone day
Every day has been an uphill climb to keeping my hopes afloat
Judging by your silence, boy, you must be in the same boat

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I′m looking at you (well, well, well, well)
You need love like I do, don't you?
It seems like I′m looking in the mirror, when I'm looking at you


I can′t begin to tell how many nights I've sat home lonely
Come on, tell me, girl, has it ever happened to you?
I'm gonna tell you something, and believe me, it ain′t no joke
My love life is just like a sinking boat

I can understand a person being without money
But there surely ain′t a reason for a person to be without love

Listen to me now, I'm a girl, and you′re a guy (yes, it's true)
Come on, let′s give love a try (haha, yeah)

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I′m looking at you

Finding true love is a dream that everyone wants to come true
Can't you see it's up to us to make this dream come true?

Yeah, you need love like I do, don′t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I′m looking at you (well, well, well)
You need love like I do, don't you?
Well, it seems like I′m looking in the mirror when I'm looking at you

Ain′t it true? Ain't it true? Ain′t it true?
Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Yes, it′s so true
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
You need love too (you need love)


You need love like I do, don′t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you
You need love like I do, don′t you?
Well, it seems like I'm looking in the mirror, when I′m looking at you (oh, Lord)

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look when I′m looking at you
You need love like I do, don't you?
Well, it seems like I'm looking in the mirror when I′m looking at you

Ain′t it true, girl? (Yeah, I'm in love) I′m in love
('Cause I need you) and I need you too
