The Temptations - You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You) Lyrics

Lyrics You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You) - The Temptations



Seems like it was only yesterday
When my mama told me, don′t fall in love
With the first girl that comes your way
She was fine, fine, fine, but I passed by
Years have passed
Don't look like love gonna give me a second try
Oh, the look on your face tells me you understand
Could it be your love life like mine
Needs a helping hand well, well, well
You need love like I do, don′t you?
Girl, I can tell by the way you look
When I'm looking at you
I know it ain't fit and proper
For a guy to talk this way
But, I can′t cope with this loneliness
Not one more doggone day
Every day has been an uphill climb
Keeping my hopes afloat
Judging from your silence girl
You must be in the same boat, ain′t it true?
Now, you need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look
When I′m looking at you
Girl, 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 sit home lonely
Come on and 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 sho′ ain′t no reason
For a person to be without love
Listen to me now
You're a girl and I′m a guy
So come on, let's give love a try
Ain′t it true now?
You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look
When I′m looking at you
Girl, find true love is a dream (dream)
That everyone wants to come true (true)
Girl, can't you see it's up to us
To make this dream come true, oh
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?
It seems like I′m looking in the mirror
When I'm looking at you (girl, I said that)
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?
It seems like I'm looking in the mirror
When I'm looking at you
Girl, 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?
Ain′t it true? Ain't it true?
Ain′t it true? Ain't it true?
You need love too
You need love like I do, don′t you?
I can tell by the way you look
When I'm looking at you
Girl, you need love like I do, don't you?
