Everybody's got to have a secret love

Everyone's got to be free

Free to believe that love lasts forever

Everybody's got to have a shoulder to cry on

Everyone's born with the need

The need to be loved in a moment of sadness

When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder

It's then that you'll know what I mean

You need love

You need love 

Everybody's got to have their moments of coldness

Everyone's got to have warmth

A fire in their lives, so they join man and wife

After the fire, the flames and the passion

After the first years are gone

You still feel the need in a moment of sadness

You need love

You need love 



When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder

It's then that you'll know what I mean

When you're all alone and there's no-one to talk to

It's then that you'll know what I mean

You need love

You need love
