[Ab]
[Eb]
[Ebm] [Bb] [Eb]
Since I [Ebm] came home, it [Eb] was the worst thing
[Ebm] When [Bbm] my mama told me, don't fall in love with [Ebm] a poor skilled-ass homeboy
She was fine, fine, fine, but I [Eb] passed her by
[Ebm]
Here's her path, don't direct love, gonna give me a second try
God, the look on your face tells me you understand, [Db] yeah, yeah, [Ebm] yeah
I wanna be your love life, like mine
Needs a helping hand, well, well, well
You need love like I do, don't you?
Girl, I'm ashamed of the way you look when I'm looking at you
[Ab] [Eb] Hmm, I know it ain't fitting proper [Bbm] for a guy to talk this [Eb] way
But I [Bbm] can't cope [Eb] with this loneliness, not one [Bbm] more doggone [Eb] day
Every day it's been an uphill climb, keep [Db] my hopes [Eb] afloat
[Bbm] Draggin' from [Eb] your silence, girl, you must [Dbm] be in [Ebm] the same boat
It's love, my dear, needs love like I do, don't you?
I can't cope with the way you look when I'm looking at you
Girl, you need love like I do, don't you?
I can't sleep, I'm looking at a girl when I'm looking at you
[Eb] I keep it game, but you're [Ebm] telling me the nights I sit [Eb] home lonely
[Abm] [Ebm] Come on and tell me, girl, has it ever happened to you?
I'm gonna tell you something, now [Eb] believe me, it ain't no joke
[Ab] [Eb] My love life [Ebm] is just like the sinking boat
I [Eb]
[Db] understand a person [Eb] being without [Bbm] money
[Gb] But [Eb] that sure ain't no reason for a person to be without [Db] love
[Eb] Listen to me now, [Bbm] you're a [Eb] girl and I'm a guy
[Db] [Eb] So [Db] come on, [Eb] let's give love a try
[Bbm] [Ebm] Ain't it true, now, you need love like I do, [Gb] don't you?
I can't tell by the way you look when I'm looking at you
Girl, finding true love is a dream that everyone wants to come true
[Ab] Girl, can't you [Ebm] see it's up to us to make this thing come true?
You need love like I do, [Eb] don't [Db] you?
[Gb] I care about a man just when [Eb] I'm looking at [Db] you
[Ebm] Oh, [Bbm] yeah, [Ebm]
you need love like I do
[Eb] [Ab] [Ebm] You can't see [Gb] when I'm looking in the mirror when I'm looking at you
Girl, [Ebm] I said, honey, you need love like I do, [Eb] don't you?
[Gb] You [Eb] [Db] [Ebm]
[Eb] [Ebm]
[Gb]
need [Ebm] love like I do, [Eb] don't you?
[Ebm]
[Ab] [Bb]
Ain't it true?
Ain't it true?
Ain't it true?
Ain't it true?
[Bbm] You need love, [Ebm] you need love, yeah
[Gb]
I care about the way you look [Ebm] when I'm looking at you
[Gb] Girl, you need love like I do
