（Love is the thing you need）

Ooh I know a fortune teller

A very freaky fella

How ＇bout you like me to tell ya

（Love is the thing you need） Let me say now

A family physician

Gave me a prescription

For a nice disposition

（Love is the thing you need）

So when all your frustrations

Don＇t receive no medication

How bad you feel

Oh it＇s just unreal

Oh you can＇t get no satisfaction

When your mind is overacting

And you don＇t give your self the love you need

（So get on up）

And get down down down

With some good ol＇ funky funky love

（Love is the thing you need） Fellas

（Love is the thing you need） Ah hit it

Make you feel so good

Make your body shake like crazy

Give yourself a get and go yeah

（Love is the thing you need） The midnight hour

（Love is the thing you need） （Love is the thing you need）

（Love is the thing you need） Sing it again

（Love is the thing you need） （Love is the thing you need）

When that somebody finds you down （Love is the thing you need）

Love comes up from underground （Love is the thing you need）

Oh love （Oh love）

Yeah some people they don＇t know

That it＇s the only way to go

If you wanna live a happy happy life yeah yeah

Oh there ain＇t no doubt about it

We just can＇t live without it

No we can＇t no we can＇t

Sing it to me children

（Love is the thing you need） One more time yeah

（Love is the thing you need） Sing it yeah

Once a day twice a day everyday

（Love is the thing you need） What you say now

Once a day twice a day good God everyday

（Love is the thing you need） You gotta gotta have love

You gotta gotta have love

You gotta gotta have love

Y＇all know what I＇m talkin＇ about （Love is the thing you need）

You gotta gotta have love

You gotta gotta have love

You gotta gotta have love （Love is the thing you need）
