I Need Love Lyrics by Ledisi

Turn Me Loose

2009

[Verse 1]
Love, you said you'd never go away but you're gone
And I'm right back where I used to be
Wondering if you're really working for me
Love, why did you have to go away?
There was so much love that I gave to you
Is there someone out there with a love that is true?
[Chorus]
I need love, somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, somebody to hold me
Tell me that they love me, never gonna let me go
I need love, somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, somebody who loves me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love
[Verse 2]
Love, I don't think I have much more to give to no one else
Maybe it's time for me to be by myself
Because it hurts too much to put my love on the shelf
Love, it's so hard to let it go, when you're longing for love
I'll let go and I hope that it's true
When it's real love it will come back to you
[Chorus]
I need love, somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, somebody to hold me
Tell me that they love me, never gonna let me go
I need love, somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, somebody who loves me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love (I need love)
[Bridge]
I need someone who's, someone who's there
(Somebody who cares for me)
I need someone who's, someone who's there
(I need someone, somebody there)
Somebody there, someone who cares for me
I need love (I need love), love
[Chorus]
I need love, somebody to touch me
(Touch me)
Somebody who wants to be with me only
(Who wants to be with me only)
I need love, somebody to hold me
(Somebody to be there)
Tell me that they love me, never gonna let me go
(Never let me go)
I need love, somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, somebody who loves me
Somebody who wants to be with me
[Outro]
I need love, somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, somebody to hold me
Tell me that they love me, never gonna let me go
I need love, somebody to touch me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, somebody who loves me
Somebody who wants to be with me only
I need love, love
