SONG
Capo 2nd fret
VERSE 1
Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please keep to the lake.
People who jump waterfalls
sometimes can make mistakes.
CHORUS 1
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a second needs an hour,
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
SOLO (see above)
| A G | Em | Bm G | A |
| A G |2/4 Em | Bm Bm/A | G |
CHORUS 2
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower,
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
VERSE 2
Don't go chasing polar bears,
In the great unknown.
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home.
CHORUS 3
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a second needs an hour,
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
VERSE 3
Don't run after motor cars,
Please stay on the side.
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride.
CHORUS 4
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower,
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah I need love, say I need love.
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Like a second needs an hour,
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
[freely]
Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please keep to the lake.
