I'm runnin' here, I'm runnin' there,
I'm lookin' for a girl.
'Cause there's nothin' I need, there's nothin' I want more
In the whole wide world.

Well, I need it quick and I need it now
Before I start to fade away
That's why I'm searchin', that's why I'm lookin'
Each and ev'ry day.

Ooh, I need some love.
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love.
This feelin' I can't rise above.
Oo, yeah yeah!

Well I been hustlin' here, I been hustlin' there.
I been searchin' for about a week.
And I started feelin' this strange sensation.
My knees are startin' gettin' weak.

Well I need what keeps a young man alive;
I'm sayin' I need it now.
I'm gonna get the message across to you
Some way, somehow
