Verse 1

Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake
People who jump waterfalls
sometimes can make mistakes

Chorus

And I need love, yeah I need love  
Like a second needs an hour,  
like a raindrop needs a shower. 
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Chorus

And I need love, yeah I need love  
Like a castle needs a tower,  
Like a garden needs a flower. 
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Verse 2

Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home

Chorus

And I need love, yeah I need love  
Like a second needs an hour,  
like a raindrop needs a shower. 
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Verse 3

Don't run after motor cars
please stay on the side
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride

Chorus

And I need love, yeah I need love  
Like a castle needs a tower,  
Like a garden needs a flower. 
Yeah I need love, say I need love.  
Like a raindrop needs a shower. 
Like a second needs an hour,  
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Verse 4

(freely)
Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake
