Sometimes you need a lover
Sometimes you need a friend
Sometimes you just need someone
’pon whom you can depend

Sometimes the heart gets hungry
And you’re just too weak to fight
You go out and find a stranger
To help you keep away the night

Love’s elusive as a shadow
Love’s as restless as the wind
Don’t try to hold on
It’ll slip away again

We’re all looking for the same thing
Sometimes it’s so hard to choose
Between the ones who really love you
And the ones who say they do
But don’t stop lookin’ ’til you find it
Don't stop lookin’ ’til you do
Might be out there in the distance
Might be standin’ next to you

Love’s elusive as a shadow
Love’s as restless as the wind
Don’t try to hold on
It’ll slip away again

Sometimes you need a lover
Sometimes you just need a friend
Sometimes the heart gets hungry
And it must be fed again

Love’s elusive as a shadow
Love’s as restless as the wind
Don’t try to hold on
It’ll slip away again
