Everybody's got to have a secret love Everyone's got to be free Free to believe that love lasts forever Everybody's got to have a shoulder to cry on Everyone's born with the need The need to be loved in a moment of sadness When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder It's then that you'll know what I mean You need love You need love Everybody's got to have their moments of coldness Everyone's got to have warmth A fire in their lives, so they join man and wife After the fire, the flames and the passion After the first years are gone You still feel the need in a moment of sadness You need love You need love When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder It's then that you'll know what I mean When you're all alone and there's no-one to talk to It's then that you'll know what I mean You need love You need love
