You need meat--go to the market.
You need bread--try the bakery.
You need loving--look here, baby.
I got just what you need.

Chorale         I got to love somebody,
                I got to love somebody,
                I got to love somebody,
                Somebody don't love me.

You need money--go to the bank, dear.
You need honey--look to the bee.
You need loving--come on here, woman.
Well, I got just what you need.

Chorale         I got to love somebody,
                I got to love somebody,
                I got to love somebody,
                Somebody don't love me.

Oh, play it now!

You need meat--go to the market.
You need bread--try the bakery.
And you need loving--come on here, baby.
Well, I got just what you need.

  I want to love somebody,
  Yeah, love somebody,
  I got to love somebody,
  Somebody got to love me.

Play your guitar!

You need money--go to the bank, dear.
If you need honey--go find a bee.
If need loving--well, I'm your doctor.
I've got people sick on what you need.

Chorale         I got to love somebody,
                I got to love somebody,
                I got to love somebody,
                Somebody don't love me.
