have love, oh baby, will travel
have love, pretty baby, will travel
I said, if you need lovin', will travel

well, I travel from maine to mexico
just to find a little girl that loves me so
no matter when, no matter where I'll be
I'm looking for a woman who will satifiy me

have love, oh baby, will travel
I said, have love, pretty baby, will travel
I said if you need lovin', will travel

have love, oh baby, will travel
I said, have love, pretty baby, will travel
I said, if you need loving, will travel

well, I might take a boat or a jet airplane
I might have to jump a railroad train
you're kind of love drives a man insane
so look for me walking just any old way

have love, oh baby, will travel




I said, have love, pretty baby, will travel
I said, if you need loving, will travel
