You take a look around, this world of ours
Things ain't doing so good
We could change it, but we seldom do what we should
Why most it be so hard, to give each other things we need
Deep in my heart I know, it's not the way that we should be
Seems like we take so much, we need to learn to give

'Cause we need love, we need love to live
We need love, we need love to live

It's time, it's time, it's time for joy, it seems we've tried everything else
If it ain't the way we want, we have no one to blame but ourselves
Why it should be this way, I'll never ever understand
'Cause we need each others love, and that's the way the master planned
With all the things we have, this I'm positive

We need love, we need love, to live
We need love, we need love, to live

We want to, stop messing around, with love
Stop messing around, with love
Stop messing around, with love
We've got to somehow, stop them messing around
With love
We need love to live, we need love
