I Need Your Love
Chris Norman & Suzi Quatro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we have had our ups and downs
And I always knew that beg, steal or borrow
That it felt so good having you around
In my life
I've had some good friends
But no one knows me
I need your love
Like a river needs the sea
Like the sun is in the sky
Like a baby needs to cry
That′s how much you mean to me
I need your love
Like an eagle has to fly
And as the light begins the dawn
You give me strength to carry on, I know
I need your love
Well in my life
I've had some good friends
You know, no one knows me
Like you do
I need your love
Like a river needs the sea
Like the sun is in the sky
Like a baby needs to cry
That's how much you mean to me
I need your love
Like an eagle has to fly
And as the light begins the dawn
You give me strength to carry on, I know
I need your love
The lyrics of Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro's "I Need Your Love" express the deep affection and need for love the singer has for their partner. The song acknowledges the ups and downs the couple has gone through in their relationship but ultimately emphasizes the importance of the love they share. In the opening lines, the singer speaks of their personal experiences and how they’ve had to endure their own share of sorrows. This sets the backdrop to the rest of the song as the lyrics go on to describe the singer's feelings of desire and dependence for the love of their partner.
The various similes used in the song, for example, "like a river needs the sea" and "like an eagle has to fly" emphasize the depth and intensity of the singer's need for the love of their partner. The lyrics suggest that love is an essential part of life itself, like the sun in the sky or a baby's need to cry. The bridge of the song is particularly powerful as it declares that the partner gives the singer the strength to carry on. The final chorus, therefore, serves as a powerful affirmation of the singer's love for their partner and how they cannot do without it.

Как здорово они поют вместе. Их голоса как будто созданы друг для друга. Песня Криса хороша. А Сьюзи волшебная.
