The Love I Need

Chorus:
You can't give me the love I need
Give me the love I feel
Give me the love I give
You can't give me the love I need
Give me the love I need

Not another tear am I giving you
Not another night am I sitting through
While you do your thing
So I gotta keep pushing on (You can't...)

In your mind your love is true
By the time its clear that I'm through
Baby I'll be gone, boy I'm moving on

(We don't) We don't flow like we used to flow
(We don't) We don't go where we used to go
(No more) No more hugging and kissing no loving all weekend
(I'm gone) Baby I'll be ghost by tonight
(I'm gone) I no longer want to fight
(The love) For the love I seek, boy you're losing me
You can't see

Chorus:
You can't give me the love I need
Give me the love I feel
Give me the love I give
You can't give me the love I need
Give me the love I need

On my own again and I'm missing you
Can't deny I'd love to be kissing you
I know I'm back and forth but it's so hard to let go (You can't)
I'm not one to sit by the phone
Never been the kind to cling on
It's so clear to me you can't give me what I need

I love from my heart, I've got my own mind
I say what I feel
Gotta find a love that fits my heart and mind
I play for it all, so stand all or fall
My love is for real
Next time I'll be sure its right, 'cause clearly--

Chorus:
You can't give me the love I need
Give me the love I feel
Give me the love I give
You can't give me the love I need
Give me the love I need

You can't love me like I wanna be loved
You can't love me like I need--
You can't love me like I wanna be loved
You can't love me like I need--
