Buy yourself a cottage with a picket fence around
High upon the hilltop a few miles out from town
Wrap yourself in loneliness and try to have a ball
You'll find you gotta have love
You gotta have love or you've got nothing at all.

Buy yourself a new car and go out for a ride
Drive along a lover's lane with no one by your side
Keep on saying to your heart I've ever gonna fall
You'll find you gotta have love
You gotta have love or you've got nothing at all.

Go asleep and dream about
The plans you'd like to make
But there's no fun if there's no one
To share them when you're awake.

Buy yourself a ticket to London or to Rome
You'll find there's no difference that if you'd stay at home
Every town is just the same when you've no one to call
You'll find you gotta have love
You gotta have love or you've got nothing at all.

(You'll find you gotta have love)
You gotta have love or you've got nothing at all...
