Song Lyrics

Well, well, well.
Seems like it was only yesterday when mama told me,
"Don''t fall in love with the first girl that comes your way."
She was pretty and nice but I took her advice,
And passed her by.
Years have passed and I don''t know,
If love''s gonna give me a second try.

Well, the look on your face tells me you understand.
Could it be your love life, like mine, needs a helping hand?

Well, you need love like I do, don''t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I''m looking at you.

(Take It Girl)
I know it ain't fit and proper for a girl to talk this way,
But I can''t cope with this loneliness,
Not one more God damned day.
Everyday bringing up your side to keep my hopes afloat,
Judging by your silence, boy, you must be in the same boat.

Well, you need love like I do, don''t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I''m looking at you.
You need love like I do, don''t you?
It seems like I''m looking in the mirror,
When I''m looking at you.

I can''t begin to tell the many nights I sat home lonely.
Come on, tell me girl, has it ever happened to you?
I''m gonna tell you something and believe me,
It ain't no joke.
My love life is just like a sinking boat.

I can understand a person being without money.
You can show me the reason for a person to be without love.

Listen to me now, I''m a girl and you''re a guy. (yes it''s true)
Come on let''s give love a try. (ha ha, yeah)

You need love like I do, don''t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I''m looking at you.

Finding true love is a dream everybody wants to come true.
Can''t you see? I
It''s up to us to make this dream come true.

You need love like I do, don''t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I''m looking at you.
(Well, well) You need love like I do, don''t you?
It seems like I''m looking in the mirror,
When I''m looking at you.

Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Ain't it true?
Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Yes, it''s so true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
You need love too.

You need love like I do, don''t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I''m looking at you.
(Hey, hey) You need love like I do, don''t you?
It seems like I''m looking in the mirror,
When I''m looking at you.

You need love like I do, don''t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I''m looking at you.
You need love like I do, don''t you?
It seems like I''m looking in the mirror,
When I''m looking at you.

Ain't it true girl?
Well, I''m in love.
I need love.
And I need you.
And I need you too.
