What I Need is a Little Lovin'

What I Need is a Little Lovin'                                              June 9, 2006

I've been wandering along the desert plains,

Across sand dunes, between their toes sand grains,

And never once did I have to question my needs.

They say God will produce and plant the seeds

For life to spring to, well, life, someday,

And then claim Jesus is the way

To salvation by way of His decree,

But what do they say about earthly love?

Isn't love the epitome of the symbolic dove?

Well, I got my church and I got my religion

And I got God and my Savior in my heart,

But somehow, my emotional needs are bare,

And thus I'm a ragin' man, mad as hell, and on a tear.

I've walked ten thousand miles and maybe more

And I've fallen down countless times onto the floor,

But what about love?  Well, that's another story.

What I need is a little lovin'.

Surely, that ain't too much to ask or is a sin.

If love is a sin, I say so be it,

I consider the source of this decree full of shit,

For the comfort of a woman would set me free.

Give me love, unchain my heart, and let my spirit flee.
