You need love like I do    (intro)    (midi)

    A - G - A - G (2x)   A - G - A             G                                         

                                                   Well, well, well.

         A                        G                A     - G

1. It seems like it was only yesterday,

                      A                             G            

    when my mama told me, don't fall in love

                   A                                     G

    with the first girl that comes your way.

                      A                            G                              A                     - G

    She was pretty and nice but I took her advice and passed her by,

   A                                          G                                  A                          G

years have passed and now looks like love's gonna give me a second try.

                    A                                G                     A       - G

    Boy, the look on your face tells me you understand,

                 A                   G                     A                       G

    could it be your love life, like mine, needs a helping hand ?

                A                         G                          - A - G

    Yeah, you need love like I do, don't you ?

              A                            G                                      A       - G

    I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.

         A                            G               A                      G

3. I know it ain't fit and proper for a girl to talk this way,

         A                                G                       A                             G

    but I can't cope with this loneliness, not one more doggone day.

      A                                  G                      A                             G

    Every day has been an uphill climb to keeping my hopes afloat,

      A                        G                         A                             G

    judging by your silence, boy, you must be in the same boat.

           A                         G                        - A - G

Well, you need love like I do, don't you ?

          A                             G                                     A     - G

I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.

  A                         G                          - A - G

You need love like I do, don't you ?

      A                                           G                                       A     - G

It seems like I'm looking in the mirror, when I'm looking at you.

                    A                             G                         A        - G

3. I can't begin to tell the many nights I set down lonely,

                     A                         G                           A       - G

    come on, tell me girl, has it ever happened to you ?

                      A                                      G                            A       - G

    I'm gonna tell you something and believe me, it ain't no joke,

           A              G                           A        - G

    my love life is just like a sinking boat.

              A                    G                                 A        - G

    I can understand a person being without money,

                     A                                     G                               A     - G

    you can show me the reason for a person to be without luck.

                                  A                     G                 - A    G

    Listen to me now, I'm a girl and you're a guy,         yes, it’s true

      A                           G              - A  - G

    come on, let’s give love a try.

              A                         G                        - A - G

    Well, you need love like I do, don't you ?

              A                             G                                     A     - G

    I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.

      A                                G               A                                       G

    Finding true love is a dream that everybody wants to come true,

     A                        G                  A                                  G

    can't you see it's up to us to make this dream come true.

                         E                                                      E7                 E

+ CHORUS   +     Ain’t it true ? Ain’t it true? Ain’t it true ? Ain’t it true ?

                         - E7                                                   - E7 ~ ~

    Ain’t it true ?         Yes, it’s true, true, true ! Yeah !                         

     + CHORUS (2x)

E                       - D                                                                             A

    Ain’t it true ?      I need love, ‘cause I need you. And I need you, too.
