If you want love,
You gotta be cool
And if you deny it,
Then baby you’re a fool
I’m telling you now,
Don’t you hide it away
Because you need to keep you warm both night and day

I could come home
Late at night
And after some loving,
Baby, it would be alright
I’ve given up trying
Lying my way
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won’t be far away
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

You gotta have love

If you want schooling baby
I’ll be around,
I’m ready for fooling
But, don’t hang around
And every morning I know I will say
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won’t be far away
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day
