STANDING IN THE NEED OF LOVE

Donny Osmond - 1971


I don't need no sorry-eyed girl
I'd just rather be alone
But the days and nights get lonely, Babe
When you're far away from home
Back in Georgia I was somethin'
I had friends and I had fun
But it's hard to find a down-home girl
When you don't know no one, yea-ah

Well, I'm standing in the need of love (Yeah)
Standing in the need of love (Yeah)
Standing in the need of love (Woo-ooh)
Standing in the need of love, yeah yeah
Standing in the need of love (Yeah)
Standing in the need of love (Ooh-ooh)
Standing in the need of love (Woo-ooh)
Standing in the need of love

I'll be good to you, Baby
I'll love you each and every night
Better tell me that you need me
I swear I'll treat you right
If you just put all your trust in me
I'll love you all I can
If you'll be my lovin' baby girl
I'll love you till the end, yeah yeah

Oh,oh,oh,oh
Standing in the need of love
Standing in the need of love
Ooh, I'm standing in the need of love (Ooh-ooh)
Standing in the need of love, Baby
Standing in the need of love (Yeah)
Standing in the need of love, Ooh-ooh
Standing in the need of love (Ooh-ooh)
I'm standing in the need of love, Baby
Standing in the need of love
Standing in the need of love (Woh-ooh)
Standing in the need of love (Woh-ooh)
Standing in the need of love, Baby,
I'm standing in the need..............FADE
