Love Is the Thing You Need
Jackson 5 featuring Michael Jackson Lyrics

Ooh, I know a fortune teller
I have knowledge of a clairvoyant individual

A very freaky fella
A person with an unusual persona

How 'bout you like me to tell ya
Do you want me to share some insights with you?

(Love is the thing you need) Let me say now
Let me state that love is what you require

A family physician
A doctor for my family

Gave me a prescription
Provided me with a medical recommendation

For a nice disposition
To have a positive outlook

(Love is the thing you need)
Love is what you require

So, when all your frustrations
Therefore, when you're feeling dejected

Don't receive no medication
And medication isn't working

How bad you feel
You feel terrible

Oh, it's just unreal
It's unimaginable

Oh, you can't get no satisfaction
You cannot find any contentment

When your mind is overacting
When your thoughts are in overdrive

And you don't give your self the love you need
And you don't have self-love

(So get on up)
(Get up)

And get down, down, down
And start dancing

With some good ol' funky, funky love
With some good loving that has rhythm

(Love is the thing you need) Fellas
Men, love is what you need

(Love is the thing you need) Ah, hit it,
Love is what you need, let's do this

Make you feel so good
Make you feel happy

Make your body shake like crazy
Make your body move in an exciting way

Give yourself a get and go, yeah
Motivate yourself to keep going

(Love is the thing you need) The midnight hour
Love is the thing you need, even at midnight

(Love is the thing you need) (Love is the thing you need)
Love is what you require, this phrase is repeated twice

Sing it again
Let's sing it one more time

(Love is the thing you need) (Love is the thing you need)
Love is what you require, this phrase is repeated twice

When that somebody finds you down (Love is the thing you need)
When a person discovers you feeling low, love is what you require

Love comes up from underground (Love is the thing you need)
Love is like something that emerges from the depths, and it's what you require

Oh, love (Oh, love)
Oh, love is what you require

Yeah, some people they don't know
There are individuals who don't realize

That it's the only way to go
That love is the only path to follow

If you wanna live a happy, happy life yeah, yeah
If you want to live a joyous life

Oh, there ain't no doubt about it
There is no doubt

We just can't live without it
We cannot survive without love

No we can't, no we can't
We absolutely cannot

Sing it to me children
Sing it, everyone

(Love is the thing you need) One more time, yeah
Love is what you require, let's do this one more time

(Love is the thing you need) Sing it, yeah,
Love is what you require, sing it

Once a day, twice a day, everyday
Everyday, at least once or twice

(Love is the thing you need) What you say now
Love is what you require, what do you say now?

Once a day, twice a day, good God, everyday
Everyday, at least once or twice, my goodness

(Love is the thing you need) You gotta, gotta have love
You need love, absolutely need it

You gotta, gotta have love
You absolutely need love

You gotta, gotta have love
You must have love

Y'all know what I'm talkin' about (Love is the thing you need)
You all understand what I mean, love is what you require

You gotta, gotta have love
You need love, absolutely need it

You gotta, gotta have love (Love is the thing you need)
You must have love, as that is what you require

Don't you stop, don't you stop
Don't stop, keep going
