Well, well, well, well, well
You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolves away

You need a car with good tires on it
And the right place to eat some bar-bar-barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in your walking shoes
The main thing you're gonna find you need
A fertile place where you can plant the seed

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
You got to give it away

Act like a man and get some life insurance, brother
And be prepared to dial 9-1-1
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
And stay away from the man with a gun

You need a reason to get up in the morning
So make sure your alarm has got a snooze control
And try to find some place to run for cover
'Cause overnight, you know, it can sure get cold
Well, you're gonna find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away, no

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
You got to give it away

You've gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
That's what I say

You're gonna find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator

You've gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you
You know what I'm sayin' baby
(night and day)

Someone to share it with and be part of you
Cause love ain't no good until you give it give it give it

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
Oh no no no
