Like a desert needs rain 
Like a town needs a name 
I need your love 
 
Like a drifter needs a room 
Hawkmoon 
I need your love 
I need your love 
 
Like a rhythm unbroken 
Like drums in the night 
Like sweet soul music 
Like sunlight 
I need your love 
 
Like coming home  
And you don't know where you've been 
Like black coffee 
Like nicotine 
I need your love (I need your love) 
I need your love (I need your love) 
I need your love (I need your love) 
 
When the night has no end 
And the day yet to begin 
As the room spins around 
I need your love 
I need your love 
 
Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree 
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy 
I need your love 
 
Like the hot needs the sun 
Like honey on her tongue 
Like the muzzle of a gun 
Like oxygen 
I need your love (I need your love) 
I need your love (I need your love) 
I need your love (I need your love) 
 
When the night has no end 
And the day yet to begin 
As the room spins around 
I need your love 
 
I need your love... 
[Repeat 9 times] 
 
Like thunder needs rain 
Like a preacher needs pain 
Like tongues of flame 
Like a sheet stained 
I need your love 
I need your love 
 
Like a needle needs a vein 
Like someone to blame 
Like a thought unchained 
Like a runaway train 
I need your love 
 
I need your love... 
[Repeat 7 times] 
 
Like faith needs a doubt 
Like a freeway out 
I need your love 
 
Like powder needs a spark 
Like lies need the dark 
I need your love 
 
In the heart of the heat of the love 
In the heart of the heat of the love... 
[Repeat until end]
