You Need Love Lyrics

[Intro]
Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada
Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada
Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada
Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada da...

[Verse 1]
Welcome my friends
To a place that may seem
Most disturbing
Quite unnerving
Lend me your dreams
And we'll add what we need
To be free
Terminally

We'll fly to a spot
Where I know there is not
Any sorrow
No tomorrow
People just laugh
Cause they know how it feels
To have loved
And be loved

[Chorus]
Don't you worry
Ain't no need to hurry
All you really need is
Love

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah

[Verse 2]
Now you may say
Tell me more of this place
So inviting
And exciting
Here and above
Children love without doubt
And can be
They can be

Listen my friends
Carefully to direction
To get there
And you know where
Love is the place
Skewed to matter and space
For us all
For us all

[Outro]
Don't you worry
Ain't no need to hurry
All you really need is
Love, love, love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow...no comments. Well...I always thought this one was about heaven. A spot where there is no sorrow, no tomorrow. Children love with the dove (dove is a symbol for the Holy Spirit). Kinda obvious. But it's one of my favs.
