THE NEED TO BE LOVED
Ola Onabule © 2010

Quarter past dawn, still of the night,
I'm feeling the need to be loved.
You sound heavy sleeping, I'm hoping for light,
o be heeding my need to be loved.
Pin point staring, at sheep I can't count,
Ain't shifting the need to be loved.
I'm for subtle nudging, in a moderate amount,
Till we're feeding the need to be loved.

Who wouldn't want to be held close
Who'd fight the need to be kissed , so...
Who wouldn't want to have
The one you need prove they need you too...

Let some other guy play it cool, man, I'm getting loved
You can bet I ain't got no qualms, I need to loved
I know some people really get burned, And that can be rough
but best you soon get back on that horse
Feed the need to be loved

Middle of the day, You just swung by,
But that look says you need to be loved.
I see right away, but I never ask why,
Just attend to your need to be loved.
And there's no denying it's a sensual thing,
Someone cares how you need to be loved.
And it sure feels good, what deep joy it brings
That by me you still need to be loved

Who wouldn't want to be held close...

Chorus...

What I need to have Is to be your most wanted need

There's no one home, Just that feeling and I,
We're starting to look at my watch.
Till you're through that door the soonest minute past five,
I'll be hanging with the need
for your love.
