Well, I'm hungry for lovin', But I just can't get me none I tried and I tried, But I can't find anyone Won't somebody tell me what the reason can be, Why no girl wants to give her love to me? Everybody needs something, and I need to be loved. Now, most people have it, And they get it all the time But I do without it, tell me why can't love be mine? I tried for so long, But it's so hard to find A lover to help me, It's breakin' my mind Everybody needs something, and I need to be loved Well, I spend my time lost and lonely, Everyday and all night I don't know how long I can go on, And I know is it ain't right Well now, can't find that certain someone, And I just don't understand I know out there, there's a girl somewhere, For such a lonely man I'll come home this evening Just like all the nights before, And I'll be alone When I walk through my front door And I'll go to bed 'round a quarter to two, And I will start cryin' like I always do Everybody needs something and I need to be loved Whoa, I need to be loved Yeah, I need to be loved
