I was just alone and mad
With a suitcase in my hand
Part of the travelling band on the road
(Girl, I was always away from you)
I never needed anyone
My music, it was my fun
But I woke up late at night to regret it
Oh, oh, oh
We all need love, I swear it's true
All God's children, me and you
We all need love, I swear it's true
All God's children, me and you
Brother, brother reach out your hand
Sister, stand up, stand by your man
And let him know that you understand, you really need him
(I've always needed you, yes I do)
And the sun will shine on you
Help your love to flow on through
Life's a precious gift, my man
Don't waste it away now
We all need love, I swear it's true
All God's children, me and you
We all need love, I swear it's true
All God's children, me and you, oh yeah
There's no way, nothing in life to replace it
Ain't enough around, so you better not waste it
There's no stronger force in life, it's true
So reach out, make a little
Love, I swear it's true
All the children, me and you
We all need love, I swear it's true (I need it, and you need it)
Everybody, everybody needs a little love, it's true
(We all need love, I swear it's true) oh, yeah
Give me just a little bit of love, yeah
We all need love, I swear it's true
All the people, me and you, ooh, ooh, ooh
