You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor cuz life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolves away
You need a car with good tires on it
And a right place to eat bar-b-que
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
No holes in your walkin shoes
The main thing you going to find you need
A fertile place to plant the seed

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

I recommend you get some life insurance
Be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
Stay away from the man with the gun
You need a reason to get up in the morning
Be sure your clocks got a snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover now
Over night things can sure get cold
You going to find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator

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

You going to find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator
You got to find somebody to love you
Someone who be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with, and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
