What You Really Need is a Lover to Love

when your pastry doesn't rise
when your battery won't re-energise
when your egg is boiled hard
when your banker has dealt a duff card

I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover .....to love

when your soap won't shift the grease
when your iron won't take out the crease
when your key won't fit the lock
when you can't find a matching grey sock

I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover .....to love

when it just gets to you, when you're at your wits' end
when you just feel like dropping out
when it's on top of you, when you can't take no more
well just you heed what I say

when your bread bin's got no bread
when your pencil has run out of lead
when your milk is turning sour
when the heat goes off in the shower

I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover to love
I tell you what you really need is a lover .....to love
