Ooh, I need your love, babe

Guess you know it’s true

Hope you need my love, babe

Just like I need you

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me

Ain’t got nothing but love, babe

Eight days a week.

Love you every day, girl

Always on my mind

One thing I can say, girl

Love you all the time

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me

Ain’t got nothing but love, girl

Eight days a week.

Eight days a week

Eight days a week

Is not enough to show I care

Love you every day, girl

Always on my mind

One thing I can say, girl
