You Need Love Like I Do [Don't You] lyrics

[Intro: Michael + (Jackson 5)]

You need it (you need it)

Like I need it (like I need it)

I need it (I need it)

Like you need it, oh (Oh)

Well (well, well, well, well)

[Verse 1: Michael + (Jackson 5)]

Seems like it was only yesterday (well)

When my mama told me don't fall in love

With the first girl that comes your way

She was charming and nice

But I took her advice and passed her by (well)

Years have passed and don't look

Like love's gonna give me a second try

Girl, the look on your face tells me you understand (well)

Could it be your love life like mine

Needs a helping hand? (well)

[Chorus: Jackson 5]

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

Girl, I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

[Verse 2: Michael + (Jackson 5)]

I know it ain't fit and proper

For a boy to talk this way (nope)

But I can't cope with this loneliness

Not one more doggone day

Everyday 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

[Chorus: Jackson 5]

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

Girl, 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?

Girl, it seems like I'm looking in the mirror

When I'm looking at you

[Verse 3: Michael + (Jackson 5)]

I can understand a person being without money (well)

But there sure ain't no reason

For a person to be without love

Listen to me now, you're a girl and I'm a guy (well)

So come on let's give love a try

Well, tell me lil' girl

[Chorus: Jackson 5]

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

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

[Bridge: Jermaine]

Girl, 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

[Chorus: Jermaine + (Michael) + Jackson 5]

You need love like I do, don't you? (Oh yeah)

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you (Ooh ooh)

Well, well, you need love like I do, don't you? (Oh)

'Cause 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? (Yeah!)

[Chorus: Jackson 5]

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?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

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?

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you

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

I can tell by the way you look

When I'm looking at you
