(This heart) needs to love somebody (this heart) wants to really care
(This heart) is ready to start a fire baby you're the match for this heart
(This heart) needs a one and only (this heart) wants to settle down
(This heart) is tired of beatin' lonely honey do you want to love this heart
Good things come to those who wait and I've been waitin'
Oh honey how long will it take till we make it
I'll lay my heart out on the line I think you need to know what's been on my mind
(This heart) needs to love somebody...
You smile cause you knew all along that I was fallin'
You say this heart's found a home so come in darlin'
You softly whisper in my ear and you say exactly what I want to hear
(This heart) needs to love somebody...
[ guitar ]
(This heart) needs to love somebody...
[ guitar ]
