People need hope, people need lovin'
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good livin'
People need faith in a helping hand

Man has always wanted a woman by his side
To keep him company
Women always knew that it takes a man
To get matrimonial harmony
Everybody knows that a man who's feeling down
Wants some female sympathy
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have love till eternity

People need hope, people need lovin'
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good livin'
People need faith in a helping hand

Flowers in a desert need a drop of rain
Like a woman needs her man
If a man's in love
And his woman wants the Moon
Then he'll take it down if he can
Somebody who loves you
And somebody who cares
Isn't that what you call a friend
Gotta have love to carry on living
Isn't it easy to understand

People need hope, people need lovin'
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good livin'
People need faith in a helping hand
