| 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 wolf away
|
| You need a car with good tires on it The right place to eat barbecue
|
| A heavy duty set of jumper cables
|
| And no holes in you walkin' shoes
|
| The main thing you’re gonna find you need
|
| Is a fertile place to plant your seed, boy
|
| 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 'til you give it away
|
| You got to give it away
|
| I recommend you get some life insurance
|
| And be prepared to dial 911
|
| Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
|
| And stay away from the man with the gun
|
| You need a reason to get up in the mornin'
|
| Make sure your clock has got a snooze control
|
| Be sure you got a place to run for cover
|
| 'Cause overnight things can sure get cold
|
| You’re gonna find that 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 'til you give it away
|
| You got to give it away |
