Everybody's got to have a secret love 
Everyone's got to be free 
Free to believe that love lasts forever 
Everybody's got to have a shoulder to cry on 
Everyone's born with the need 
The need to be loved in a moment of sadness 
When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder 
It's then that you'll know what I mean 
You need love 
You need love  
Everybody's got to have their moments of coldness 
Everyone's got to have warmth 
A fire in their lives, so they join man and wife 
After the fire, the flames and the passion 
After the first years are gone 
You still feel the need in a moment of sadness 
You need love 
You need love  
 
When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder 
It's then that you'll know what I mean 
When you're all alone and there's no-one to talk to 
It's then that you'll know what I mean 
You need love 
You need love
