[Verse 1]
Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake
People who jump waterfalls
Sometimes can make mistakes

[Chorus]
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Yeah, I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
Yeah, I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
[Verse 2]
Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home

[Chorus]
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Yeah, I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

[Verse 3]
Don't run after motor cars
Please stay on the side
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride

[Chorus]
And I need love
Yeah, I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
Yeah, I need love, said I need love
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Like a second needs an hour
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
[Outro]
Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake
