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
