In the evening

When the day is done

I'm looking for a woman

Oh, but the girl don't come

So don't let her

Play you for a fool

She don't show no pity baby

No no, she don't make no rules

Oh, oh, I need your love,

I need your love

Oh, I need your love

I just got to have

So don't you let her

Oh, get under your skin

It's only bad luck and trouble

>From the day that you begin

I hear you crying in the darkness

Don't ask nobody's help

Ain't no pockets full of mercy baby

Cause you can only blame yourself

Oh, oh, I need your love,

I need your love

Oh, I need your love

I just got to have

Oh it's simple

All the pain that you go through

You can turn away from fortune, fortune

Cause that's all that's left to you

It's lonely at the bottom

Man, it's dizzy at the top

But if you're standing in the middle

Ain't no way you're gonna stop

Oh, oh, I need your love,

I need your love

Oh, I need your love

I got to have

Oh whatever that your days may bring

No use hiding in a corner, Oh no

Cause that won't change a thing

If you're dancing in the doldrums

One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stop

When you're the master of the off-chance

When you don't expect a lot

Oh, oh, I need your love,

I need your love

Oh, yeah, I need your love

I got to have

oooh, ooh, etc...
