You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolves away

You need a car with good tires on it
And the right place to eat bar-b-q
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in your walkin' shoes

the main thing you gonna find you need
is a fertile place to plant the seed now

You got to find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with and be part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You got to give it away

I recommend you get some life insurance
Be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
And stay away from the man with a gun

You need a reason to get up in the morning
Make sure your clock has a snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover
'Cause overnight things can sure get cold

You're gonna find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator

You got to find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with and be part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You got to give it away
