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
And a big stick to keep the wolf away
You need a car with good tires on it
And a right place to eat barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
No holes in your walkin' shoes
the main thing you gonna find you need
A fertile place to plant the seed
You've 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 until 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 got a snooze control
Be sure you got some 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've 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 'til you give it away
You've got to give it away
You're gonna find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator
You've 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 'til you give it away
You've 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 'til you give it away
Oh, you've got to give it away
